Dosage compensation of the sex chromosomes
CM Disteche - Annual review of genetics, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Differentiated sex chromosomes evolved because of suppressed recombination once sex
became genetically controlled. In XX/XY and ZZ/ZW systems, the heterogametic sex became …

Mechanisms and evolutionary patterns of mammalian and avian dosage compensation
As a result of sex chromosome differentiation from ancestral autosomes, male mammalian
cells only contain one X chromosome. It has long been hypothesized that X-linked gene …
