Reenacting a mouse genetic evolutionary arms race in yeast reveals SLXL1/SLX compete with SLY1/2 for binding to Spindlins.

The paper demonstrates dose-dependent competition between X- and Y-linked proteins for binding to Spindlins in yeast, revealing mechanisms of evolutionary arms race in mice.

Genomic structure, evolutionary origins, and reproductive function of a large amplified intrinsically disordered protein gene on the X chromosome (Laidx) in mice.

The paper identifies a large amplified intronless gene, Laidx, on the X chromosome in mice, shows its evolutionary origin from a horizontal gene transfer, and finds no reproductive defects in its absence.
