Occurrence of a transposition from the X-chromosome long arm to the Y-chromosome short arm during human evolution

TL;DR: DXYS1, a site showing greater than 99% DNA sequence homology between the human X and Y chromosomes, maps to the X long arm and to the Y short arm, suggesting an X–Y transposition during human evolution.
Journal Article

Gonadoblastoma: molecular definition of the susceptibility region on the Y chromosome.

TL;DR: Although the results do not directly implicate TSPY or YRRM in the etiology of the tumor, they raise the issue of whether there is one GBY gene in the critical region or possibly multiple GBY loci dispersed on the Y chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retroposition of autosomal mRNA yielded testis-specific gene family on human Y chromosome.

TL;DR: The data indicate that CDY genes arose during primate evolution by retroposition of a CDYL mRNA and amplification of the retroposed gene, which contributed to the gene content of the human Y chromosome, together with two other molecular evolutionary processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convergent evolution of chicken Z and human X chromosomes by expansion and gene acquisition

TL;DR: It is concluded that the avian Z and mammalian X chromosomes followed convergent evolutionary trajectories, despite their evolving with opposite (female versus male) systems of heterogamety.
