ABSTRACT
As the heteromorphic sex chromosomes evolved from a pair of autosomes, the sex chromosomes became increasingly different in gene content and structure from each other and from the autosomes. Although recently there has been progress in documenting and understanding these differences, the molecular mechanisms that have fashioned some of these changes remain unclear. A new study addresses the differential distribution of retroposed genes in human and mouse genomes. Surprisingly, chromosome X is a major source and a preferred target for retrotransposition.
