Sequence Transpositions Restore Genes on the Highly Degenerated W Chromosomes of Songbirds

The female-specific W chromosomes of most Neognathae birds are highly degenerated and gene-poor. Previous studies have demonstrated that the gene repertoires of the Neognathae bird W chromosomes, despite being in small numbers, are conserved across bird species, likely due to purifying selection mai...
