We compared homologous genes located on young sex chromosomes in Silene latifolia. We found that Y-linked genes contain more repetitive elements in their introns than X-linked genes. The Y-linked genes also showed lower expression level.
Srovnali jsme homologické geny na mladých pohlavních chromosomech u Silene latifolia. Zjistili jsme, že geny na chromosomu Y obsahují více repeticí než geny na chromosomu X. Geny na chromosomu Y vykazovaly nižší expresi.
