Evolutionary dynamics of pseudoautosomal region 1 in humans and great apes
2021-09-15
Abstract excerpt
The pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) is a 2.7 Mb telomeric region of human sex chromosomes. As the largest point of contact between the X and Y, PAR1 has a crucial role in ensuring proper segregation of sex chromosomes during male meiosis, exposing it to extreme recombination and associated mutational processes. We investigate PAR1 evolution using population genomic datasets of extant humans, eight populations of g...
