Chromosomal gene movements reflect the recent origin and biology of therian sex chromosomes.

Chromosomal gene movements reflect the recent origin and biology of therian sex chromosomes.

Mammalian sex chromosomes stem from ancestral autosomes and have substantially differentiated. It was shown that X-linked genes have generated duplicate intronless gene copies (retrogenes) on autosomes due to this differentiation. However, the precise driving forces for this out-of-X gene "move...
