Abstract
Mouse sex chromosome evolution has been shaped by widespread gene amplification, due to genomic conflict over offspring sex ratio. Rathje et al. show that male mice with a partial Y chromosome deletion show impaired morphology and motility of Y- versus X-bearing sperm, revealing the physiological basis of the sex ratio drive underpinning the conflict.
