HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: PLoS, BIOLOGY and Henrik, Kaessmann from the Center forUniversity of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, INSERM, IFR, Université Rennes I, Campus de Beaulieu, Rennes, France have published the Article: Chromosomal Gene Movements Reflect the Recent Origin and Biology of Therian Sex Chromosomes, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors first show that X chromosome-derived retrogenes (genes that arose as duplicates of "parental" X-linked genes) are specifically expressed during the meiotic and postmeiotic stages of spermatogenesis, thus functionally replacing their parents during, but also after, the process of male meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI).
