Sex-Chromosome Recombination in Common Frogs Brings Water to the Fountain-of-Youth.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2018

Rodrigues Nicolas, Studer Tania, Dufresnes Christophe, Perrin Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

According to the canonical model of sex-chromosome evolution, the degeneration of Y or W chromosomes (as observed in mammals and birds, respectively) results from an arrest of recombination in the heterogametic sex, driven by the fixation of sexually antagonistic mutations. However, sex chromosomes have remained homomorphic in many lineages of fishes, amphibians, and nonavian reptiles. According to the...
