Genomic signatures of sex-biased demography: progress and prospects.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2016

Webster Timothy H, Wilson Sayres Melissa A

Abstract excerpt

Sex-biased demographic events have played a crucial role in shaping human history. Many of these processes affect genetic variation and can therefore leave detectable signatures in the genome because autosomal, X-linked, Y-linked, and mitochondrial DNA inheritance differ between sexes. Here, we discuss how sex-biased processes shape patterns of genetic diversity across the genome, review recent genomic evidence...
