The Y chromosomes of the great apes.

Human genetics - 1 May 2017

Hallast Pille, Jobling Mark A

Abstract excerpt

The great apes (orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans) descended from a common ancestor around 13 million years ago, and since then their sex chromosomes have followed very different evolutionary paths. While great-ape X chromosomes are highly conserved, their Y chromosomes, reflecting the general lability and degeneration of this male-specific part of the genome since its early mammalian origin,...
