X chromosomes show relaxed selection and complete somatic dosage compensation across <i>Timema</i> stick insect species

2021-11-28

Abstract excerpt

Sex chromosomes have evolved repeatedly across the tree of life. As they are present in different copy numbers in males and females, they are expected to experience different selection pressures than the autosomes, with consequences including a faster rate of evolution, increased accumulation of sexually antagonistic alleles, and the evolution of dosage compensation. Whether these consequences are general or linke...
