Why do sex chromosomes progressively lose recombination?

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jul 2024

Jay Paul, Jeffries Daniel, Hartmann Fanny E, Véber Amandine, Giraud Tatiana

Abstract excerpt

Progressive recombination loss is a common feature of sex chromosomes. Yet, the evolutionary drivers of this phenomenon remain a mystery. For decades, differences in trait optima between sexes (sexual antagonism) have been the favoured hypothesis, but convincing evidence is lacking. Recent years have seen a surge of alternative hypotheses to explain progressive extensions and maintenance of recombination...
