Evolution of sticky pseudoautosomal region that is rich in repetitive recombinogenic sequences and shows high recombination in males. Evolutionary steps are indicated by color code: grey, homologous region; white, SRY gene; black, unpaired region in testis-determining factor region; hatched grey, male-specific recombinogenic region.
