H Ellegren - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2011 - nature.com It is now clear that sex chromosomes differ from autosomes in many aspects of genome biology, such as organization, gene content and gene expression. Moreover, sex linkage has numerous evolutionary genetic implications. Here, I provide a coherent overview of sex- ... Cited by 1 - All 5 versions

JV Henzel, K Nabeshima, M Schvarzstein… - Genetics, 2011 - Genetics Soc America Heteromorphic sex chromosomes, such as the X/Y pair in mammals, differ in size and DNA sequence yet function as homologs during meiosis; this bivalent asymmetry presents special challenges for meiotic completion. In Caenorhabditis elegans males carrying mnT12, an X;IV fusion ... Cited by 1 - Related articles
