Y chromosome palindromes and gene conversion.

Human genetics - 1 May 2017

Trombetta Beniamino, Cruciani Fulvio

Abstract excerpt

The presence of large and near-identical inverted repeat sequences (called palindromes) is a common feature of the constitutively haploid sex chromosomes of different species. Despite the fact palindromes originated in a non-recombining context, they have evolved a strong recombinational activity in the form of abundant arm-to-arm gene conversion. Their independent appearance in different species suggests they...
