Sex chromosome-to-autosome transposition events counter Y-chromosome gene loss in mammals
BACKGROUND: Although the mammalian X and Y chromosomes evolved from a single pair of autosomes, they are highly differentiated: the Y chromosome is dramatically smaller than the X and has lost most of its genes. The surviving genes are a specialized set with extraordinary evolutionary longevity. Mos...
