Abstract

Sex chromosomes and autosomes differ in their effective population size, mutation and demography, all of which affect the relative level of genetic diversity within the genome. Moreover, natural selection acts differentially on the two chromosomal categories, for example, because recessive mutations are directly exposed to selection on the single X chromosome of males. Recent genome analyses reveal a heterogeneous picture of the sex-chromosome-to-autosome diversity ratio in different organisms. Reduced X chromosome diversity has been interpreted to reflect demographic features such as bottlenecks and male-biased dispersal, whereas more equal diversity in sex chromosomes and autosomes has been explained by polygynous mating systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
