About PAR: the distinct evolutionary dynamics of the pseudoautosomal region
Sex chromosomes differ from other chromosomes in the striking divergence they often show
in size, structure, and gene content. Not only do they possess genes controlling sex …

Polytene chromosomal maps of 11 Drosophila species: the order of genomic scaffolds inferred from genetic and physical maps
The sequencing of the 12 genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an
opportunity to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid …

Achiasmy and sex chromosome evolution
K Satomura, N Osada, T Endo - Ecological Genetics and Genomics, 2019 - Elsevier
Achiasmy is a phenomenon whereby chiasma (“chromosomal cross–over”) formation is
absent during meiosis in one or both sexes. It is one of the strategies that have evolved to …
