My first first-author article is finally here! Happy to share with you a little piece of the puzzle in the evolution of sex chromosomes in chameleons of the genus Furcifer. You can read the full text at academic.oup.com/jhered/advan... #reptiles #chameleons #evolution #sexchromosomes

Comparison of non-synonymous/synonymous (dN/dS) ratios shows little evidence for a faster-Z effect in Furcifer chameleons after controlling for gene-specific evolutionary rates Abstract. The faster-X/Z effect hypothesis states that genes linked to X/Z chromosomes should accumulate mutations faster than autosomal genes.
