Male-driven evolution of DNA sequences in birds.

Nature genetics - 1 Oct 1997

Ellegren H, Fridolfsson A K

Abstract excerpt

Assuming that new mutations arise mainly during DNA replication, sequence evolution in mammals has been seen as 'male driven' (ref. 1) because of the many more cell divisions in spermatogenesis than in oogenesis. Molecular support for this idea has been obtained from the observation of higher substitution rates in genes on the Y than on the X chromosome of primates and rodents, which are species with male...
