Frequent gene conversion events between the X and Y homologous chromosomal regions in primates

BACKGROUND: Mammalian sex-chromosomes originated from a pair of autosomes. A step-wise cessation of recombination is necessary for the proper maintenance of sex-determination and, consequently, generates a four strata structure on the X chromosome. Each stratum shows a specific per-site nucleotide s...
