Remnant of Unrelated Amniote Sex Chromosomal Linkage Sharing on the Same Chromosome in House Gecko Lizards, Providing a Better Understanding of the Ancestral Super-Sex Chromosome

Comparative chromosome maps investigating sex chromosomal linkage groups in amniotes and microsatellite repeat motifs of a male house gecko lizard (<i>Hemidactylus frenatus</i>, HFR) and a flat-tailed house gecko lizard (<i>H. platyurus</i>, HPL) of unknown sex were examined...
