The sequencing of several genomes has indeed revealed differences between the X chromosome and the autosomes in the rates of gene divergence, patterns of gene expression and rates of gene movement between chromosomes. A better understanding of these patterns should provide valuable information on the evolution of genes located on the X chromosome. It could also suggest solutions to more general problems in molecular evolution, such as detecting selection and estimating mutational effects on fitness","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Beatriz Vicoso","first_name":"Beatriz","orcid":"0000-0002-4579-8306","last_name":"Vicoso","id":"49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Charlesworth","first_name":"Brian","full_name":"Charlesworth, Brian"}],"doi":"10.1038/nrg1914","_id":"2066","title":"Evolution on the X chromosome: Unusual patterns and processes","quality_controlled":0,"intvolume":"         7","volume":7,"date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:55:05Z","publist_id":"4973","type":"journal_article","extern":1,"date_published":"2006-08-01T00:00:00Z","page":"645 - 653","year":"2006","status":"public","publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","day":"01","citation":{"ieee":"B.
