Hill-Robertson Interference Reduces Genetic Diversity on a Young Plant Y-Chromosome.
X and Y chromosomes differ in effective population size (Ne ), rates of recombination, and exposure to natural selection, all of which can affect patterns of genetic diversity. On Y chromosomes with suppressed recombination, natural selection is expected to eliminate linked neutral variation, and lower the Ne of Y compared to X chromosomes or autosomes. However, female-biased sex ratios and hig...
متن کاملIntragenic Hill-Robertson interference influences selection intensity on synonymous mutations in Drosophila.
Natural selection influences synonymous mutations and synonymous codon usage in many eukaryotes to improve the efficiency of translation in highly expressed genes. Recent studies of gene composition in eukaryotes have shown that codon usage also varies independently of expression levels, both among genes and at the intragenic level. Here, we investigate rates of evolution (Ks) and intensity of ...
متن کاملThe Eurasian heartland: a continental perspective on Y-chromosome diversity.
The nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome has proven to be a valuable tool for the study of population history. The maintenance of extended haplotypes characteristic of particular geographic regions, despite extensive admixture, allows complex demographic events to be deconstructed. In this study we report the frequencies of 23 Y-chromosome biallelic polymorphism haplotypes in 1,935 ...
متن کاملAdaptive Evolution Is Substantially Impeded by Hill–Robertson Interference in Drosophila
Hill-Robertson interference (HRi) is expected to reduce the efficiency of natural selection when two or more linked selected sites do not segregate freely, but no attempt has been done so far to quantify the overall impact of HRi on the rate of adaptive evolution for any given genome. In this work, we estimate how much HRi impedes the rate of adaptive evolution in the coding genome of Drosophil...
متن کاملExpansion of Microsatellites on Evolutionary Young Y Chromosome
Sex chromosomes are an ideal system to study processes connected with suppressed recombination. We found evidence of microsatellite expansion, on the relatively young Y chromosome of the dioecious plant sorrel (Rumex acetosa, XY1Y2 system), but no such expansion on the more ancient Y chromosomes of liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) and human. The most expanding motifs were AC and AAC, which als...
