Characterizing the evolution and phenotypic impact of ampliconic Y chromosome regions

Abstract A major part of the human Y chromosome consists of palindromes with multiple copies of genes primarily expressed in testis, many of which have been claimed to affect male fertility. Here we examine copy number variation in these palindromes based on whole genome sequence data from 11,527 Ic...
