Pseudoautosomal Linkage, Region

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Pseudoautosomal linkage refers to regions on the sex chromosomes that still undergo homologous recombination and so behave as pseudoautosomal regions (PARs). PARs vary across species, but likely evolve under similar evolutionary pressures.
