Y-chromosome evolution: emerging insights into processes of Y-chromosome degeneration

D Bachtrog - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2013 - nature.com
The human Y chromosome is intriguing not only because it harbours the master-switch gene
that determines gender but also because of its unusual evolutionary history. The Y …

Sex determination, sex chromosomes, and karyotype evolution in insects

H Blackmon, L Ross, D Bachtrog - Journal of Heredity, 2017 - academic.oup.com

High dynamism for neo-sex chromosomes: satellite DNAs reveal complex evolution in a grasshopper

ABSM Ferretti, D Milani, OM Palacios-Gimenez… - Heredity, 2020 - nature.com
A common characteristic of sex chromosomes is the accumulation of repetitive DNA, which
accounts for their diversification and degeneration. In grasshoppers, the X0 sex-determining …
