Patterns of Sex Chromosome Differentiation in Spiders: Insights from Comparative Genomic Hybridisation

Spiders are an intriguing model to analyse sex chromosome evolution because of their peculiar multiple X chromosome systems. Y chromosomes were considered rare in this group, arising after neo-sex chromosome formation by X chromosome-autosome rearrangements. However, recent findings suggest that Y c...
