Error-prone ZW pairing and no evidence for meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in the chicken germ line.

In the male mouse the X and Y chromosomes pair and recombine within the small pseudoautosomal region. Genes located on the unsynapsed segments of the X and Y are transcriptionally silenced at pachytene by Meiotic Sex Chromosome Inactivation (MSCI).
