Origin of Amniote Sex Chromosomes: An Ancestral Super-Sex Chromosome, or Common Requirements?

15 Sept 2016

Abstract excerpt

The diversity of sex chromosomes among amniotes is the product of independent evolution of different systems in different lineages, defined by novel sex-determining genes. Convergent evolution is very common, suggesting that some genes are particularly adept at taking on a sex-determining role. Comparative gene mapping, and more recently whole genome sequencing, have now turned up other surprising relationships;...
