If you thought that X-linked genes adapt faster than autosomal genes because of recessive mutations, I'm here to convince you otherwise :). Sadly our alternative idea (large-effect mutations) doesn't seem to be the answer either. Find out more here! academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-...

Most animal species pack sperm DNA with protamines instead of histones. Protamines are essential for male fertility. They are among the fastest-evolving genes in animals. That makes little sense. We think we know why, in a new paper led by @ching-hochang.bsky.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
