Evidence of a Slower-Z effect in <i>Schistosoma japonicum</i>

2024-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Sex-linked and autosomal loci experience different selective pressures and evolutionary dynamics. X (or Z) chromosomes are often hemizygous, as Y (or W) chromosomes often degenerate. Such hemizygous regions can be under greater efficacy of selection, as recessive mutations are immediately exposed to selection in the heterogametic sex (the so-called Faster-X or Faster-Z effect). However, in young non-recombining re...
