Y-Chromosome Structural Diversity in the Bonobo and Chimpanzee Lineages
The male-specific regions of primate Y-chromosomes (MSY) are enriched for multi-copy genes highly expressed in the testis. These genes are located in large repetitive sequences arranged as palindromes, inverted-, and tandem repeats termed amplicons. In humans, these genes have critical roles in male fertility and are essential for the production of sperm. The structure of human and chimpanzee a...
متن کاملY Chromosomal Variation Tracks the Evolution of Mating Systems in Chimpanzee and Bonobo
The male-specific regions of the Y chromosome (MSY) of the human and the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) are fully sequenced. The most striking difference is the dramatic rearrangement of large parts of their respective MSYs. These non-recombining regions include ampliconic gene families that are known to be important for male reproduction,and are consequently under significant selective pressure....
متن کاملThe phylogeography of Brazilian Y-chromosome lineages.
We examined DNA polymorphisms in the nonrecombining portion of the Y-chromosome to investigate the contribution of distinct patrilineages to the present-day white Brazilian population. Twelve unique-event polymorphisms were typed in 200 unrelated males from four geographical regions of Brazil and in 93 Portuguese males. In our Brazilian sample, the vast majority of Y-chromosomes proved to be of...

Abstract Due to the lack of recombination, the male-specific region of the Y chromosome (MSY) is a unique resource for tracking the genetic history of populations. The MSY is also enriched for large, nearly identical repetitive regions known as...
