The Complete Sequence and Comparative Analysis of Ape Sex Chromosomes

2023-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Apes possess two sex chromosomes—the male-specific Y and the X shared by males and females. The Y chromosome is crucial for male reproduction, with deletions linked to infertility. The X chromosome carries genes vital for reproduction and cognition. Variation in mating patterns and brain function among great apes suggests corresponding differences in their sex chromosome structure and evolution. However, due to th...
