Can mechanistic constraints on recombination reestablishment explain the long-term maintenance of degenerate sex chromosomes?

Y and W chromosomes often stop recombining and degenerate. Most work on recombination suppression has focused on the mechanisms favoring recombination arrest in the short term. Yet, the long-term maintenance of recombination suppression is critical to evolving degenerate sex chromosomes. This long-t...
