Neo-sex chromosomes in the black muntjac recapitulate incipient evolution of mammalian sex chromosomes

Qi Zhou, Jun Wang, Ling Huang, Wenhui Nie, Jinhuan Wang, Yan Liu, Xiangyi Zhao, Fengtang Yang, Wen Wang Genome Biology 2008, 9:R98 (14 June 2008)

The nascent neo-sex chromosomes of black muntjacs show that regulatory mutations could accelerate the degeneration of the Y chromosome and contribute to the further evolution of dosage compensation.
