Chimpanzee and human Y chromosomes are remarkably divergent in structure and gene content
The human Y chromosome began to evolve from an autosome hundreds of millions of years ago, acquiring a sex-determining function and undergoing a series of inversions that suppressed crossing over with the X chromosome(1,2). Little is known about the Y chromosome’s recent evolution because only the h...
