Y-chromosomes can constrain adaptive evolution via epistatic interactions with other chromosomes

Y-chromosomes can constrain adaptive evolution via epistatic interactions with other chromosomes

Abstract Background Variation in the non-coding regions of Y-chromosomes have been shown to influence gene regulation throughout the genome in some systems; a phenomenon termed Y-linked regulatory variation (YRV). This type of sex-specific genetic variance could have important implications for the e...
