Abstract
Y and W chromosomes start degenerating after they evolve a non-recombining region that is always heterozygous in males (Y) or females (W), sometimes losing almost all genes that were originally present on their X or Z counterparts. A new model for such degeneration involves evolutionary change in regulatory sequences.Year: 2020 PMID: 32750344 DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.06.008
