- Title
Is the Rate of Insertion and Deletion Mutation Male Biased? Molecular Evolutionary Analysis of Avian and Primate Sex Chromosome Sequences.
- Authors
Sundström, Hannah; Webster, Matthew T.; Ellegren, Hans
- Abstract
Analyzes the molecular evolution of indels in noncoding DNA sequences from avian and primate sex chromosomes. Examination of the reason for the higher rate of mutations for nucleotide substitution among males than females; Comparison of the rates of mutation between chromosomes of primates with that of the avians'; Role of both DNA replication and recombination in the generation of short insertion and mutations.
