Abstract
The divergence pattern of mammalian ZFY-related genes from human (ZFY and ZFX) and mouse (Zfy-1 and Zfx) was reexamined on the basis of nucleotide substitutions at the synonymous codon-alternating positions. It is possible to explain the unusual divergence pattern of the mammalian Y-linked ZF genes by interchromosomal gene conversion by X-linked ZF genes. Furthermore, the rates of evolution of mammalian X- and Y-linked ZF genes were shown to agree well with those expected from our model.Entities:
