Dosage compensation of the sex chromosomes and autosomes.

Seminars in cell & developmental biology - 1 Aug 2016

Disteche Christine M

Abstract excerpt

Males are XY and females are XX in most mammalian species. Other species such as birds have a different sex chromosome make-up: ZZ in males and ZW in females. In both types of organisms one of the sex chromosomes, Y or W, has degenerated due to lack of recombination with its respective homolog X or Z. Since autosomes are present in two copies in diploid organisms the heterogametic sex has become a natural...
