Hi tsing_lee (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1038291)

I'm assuming that the translocation of genetic material from one chromosome to another is due to breakages in chromosomes, as outlined here (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC52627/pdf/pnas01070-0090.pdf). Please read the discussion thoroughly.

The mapping data are consistent with the hypothesis that X/Y translocations arise by homologous
recombination. The sequencing data from one translocation demonstrate this directly.
