The sequencing of several genomes has indeed revealed differences between the X chromosome and the autosomes in the rates of gene divergence, patterns of gene expression and rates of gene movement between chromosomes. A better understanding of these patterns should provide valuable information on the evolution of genes located on the X chromosome. It could also suggest solutions to more general problems in molecular evolution, such as detecting selection and estimating mutational effects on fitness"}],"issue":"8","doi":"10.1038/nrg1914","author":[{"id":"49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-4579-8306","first_name":"Beatriz","last_name":"Vicoso","full_name":"Beatriz Vicoso"},{"first_name":"Brian","last_name":"Charlesworth","full_name":"Charlesworth, Brian"}],"publist_id":"4973","intvolume":"         7","citation":{"chicago":"Vicoso, Beatriz, and Brian Charlesworth. “Evolution on the X Chromosome: Unusual Patterns and Processes.” <i>Nature Reviews Genetics</i>.
