A bird’s white-eye view on avian sex chromosome evolution by Leroy, Thibault, Anselmetti, Yoann, Tilak, Marie-Ka, Bérard, Sèverine, Csukonyi, Laura, Gabrielli, Maëva, Scornavacca, Céline, Milá, Borja, Thébaud, Christophe, Nabholz, Benoit

“…Chromosomal organization is relatively stable among avian species, especially with regards to sex chromosomes. Members of the large Sylvioidea clade however have a pair of neo-sex chromosomes which is unique to this clade and originate from a parallel translocation of a region of the ancestral 4A chromosome on both W and Z chromosomes. …”
