Reconstructing hominid Y evolution: X-homologous block, created by X-Y transposition, was disrupted by Yp inversion through LINE-LINE recombination.
The human X and Y chromosomes share many blocks of similar DNA sequence. We conducted mapping and nucleotide sequencing studies of extensive, multi-megabase homologies between Yp and Xq21, which do not recombine during male meiosis. We confirmed and built upon previous evidence that a Yp inversion had occurred during evolution: a single contiguous segment of Xq21 is homologous to two non-contig...
متن کاملThe Search for a Critical Event
The origin of the Xq21.3/Yp regions of homology in Homo sapiens by a reduplicative translocation dated at between 3 and 2 million years BP and a subsequent (and presently undated) paracentric inversion that split the translocated block on a hominid Y short arm. Adapted from Schwartz A. et al (Reconstructing hominid Y evolution: X-homologous block, created by XY transposition, was disrupted by Y...
متن کاملConnections between C(X) and C(Y), where Y is a subspace of X
In this paper, we introduce a method by which we can find a close connection between the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(X)$ and the same of $C(Y)$, for some special subset $Y$ of $X$. For instance, if $Y=Coz(f)$ for some $fin C(X)$, then there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(Y)$ and the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(X)$ not containing $f$. Moreover, c...
متن کاملSex chromosomes: how X-Y recombination stops
In many animal and plant species, sex determination involves an homologous but heteromorphic chromosome pair, the X and Y sex chromosomes. These chromosomes generally differ greatly in length and sequence content, except in the ‘pseudoautosomal’ region, where X-Y recombination still occurs in male meiosis. In a pioneering study, Lahn and Page [1] investigated the highly differentiated and nonre...
متن کاملEarly hominid biogeography ( phylogeny y human evolution )
We examined the biogeographic patterns implied by early hominid phylogenies and compared them to the known dispersal patterns of Plio-Pleistocene African mammals. All recent published phylogenies require between four and seven hominid dispersal events between southern Africa, eastern Africa, and the Malawi Rift, a greater number of dispersals than has previously been supposed. Most hominid spec...
