Chromosomal redistribution of male-biased genes in mammalian evolution with two bursts of gene gain on the X chromosome.
Mammalian X chromosomes evolved under various mechanisms including sexual antagonism, the faster-X process, and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI). These forces may contribute to nonrandom chromosomal distribution of sex-biased genes. In order to understand the evolution of gene content on t...
