Genetic Diversity in the UV Sex Chromosomes of the Brown Alga Ectocarpus

Genetic Diversity in the UV Sex Chromosomes of the Brown Alga Ectocarpus

Three types of sex chromosome system exist in nature: diploid XY and ZW systems and haploid UV systems. For many years, research has focused exclusively on XY and ZW systems, leaving UV chromosomes and haploid sex determination largely neglected. Here, we perform a detailed analysis of DNA sequence...
