  bibo_abstract:
  - Contrary to the pattern seen in mammalian sex chromosomes, where most Y-linked
    genes have X-linked homologs, the Drosophila X and Y chromosomes appear to be
    unrelated. Most of the Y-linked genes have autosomal paralogs, so autosome-to-Y
    transposition must be the main source of Drosophila Y-linked genes. Here we show
    how these genes were acquired. We found a previously unidentified gene (flagrante
    delicto Y, FDY) that originated from a recent duplication of the autosomal gene
    vig2 to the Y chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. Four contiguous genes were
    duplicated along with vig2, but they became pseudogenes through the accumulation
    of deletions and transposable element insertions, whereas FDY remained functional,
    acquired testis-specific expression, and now accounts for ∼20% of the vig2-like
    mRNA in testis. FDY is absent in the closest relatives of D. melanogaster, and
    DNA sequence divergence indicates that the duplication to the Y chromosome occurred
    ∼2 million years ago. Thus, FDY provides a snapshot of the early stages of the
    establishment of a Y-linked gene and demonstrates how the Drosophila Y has been
    accumulating autosomal genes.@eng
