Sheltering of deleterious mutations explains the stepwise extension of recombination suppression on sex chromosomes and other supergenes
Many organisms have sex chromosomes with large nonrecombining regions that have
expanded stepwise, generating “evolutionary strata” of differentiation. The reasons for this …
