Can Intra-Y Gene Conversion Oppose the Degeneration of the Human Y Chromosome? A Simulation Study
The human Y is a genetically degenerate chromosome, which has lost about 97% of the genes originally present. Most of the remaining human Y genes are in large duplicated segments (ampliconic regions) undergoing intense Y–Y gene conversion. It has been suggested that Y–Y gene conversion may help thes...
