New insights into the evolution of human Y chromosome palindromes through mutation and gene conversion

About one-quarter of the euchromatic portion of the male-specific region of the human Y chromosome consists of large duplicated sequences that are organized in eight palindromes (termed P1–P8), which undergo arm-to arm gene conversion, a proposed mechanism for maintaining their sequence integrity. A...
