New insights into mammalian sex chromosome structure and evolution using high-quality sequences from bovine X and Y chromosomes

Abstract Background Mammalian X chromosomes are mainly euchromatic with a similar size and structure among species whereas Y chromosomes are smaller, have undergone substantial evolutionary changes and accumulated male specific genes and genes involved in sex determination. The pseudoautosomal regio...
