This project investigates the evolution of sex-related chromosomes in plants and animals, challenging existing theories about genetic differentiation. It aims to explore alternative explanations for the suppression of recombination beyond sex-determining genes using various biological systems and mathematical modeling.
The sex chromosomes of plants and animals often contain large non-recombining regions due to a stepwise cessation of recombination generating “evolutionary strata” of genetic differentiation.
The reasons for the extension of recombination suppression beyond sex-determining genes remain unclear.
Sexual antagonism, involving the linkage to sex-determining genes of alleles beneficial in only one sex, is the prevailing hypothesis, as this explanation is both theoretically plausible and attractive. H…
