Potential explanation for banana inheritance pattern

I'm not quite updated on the generally accepted theories for the banana inheritance pattern, but I stumbled upon this thread a couple weeks ago. Most other threads I've come across have opinions that swing back and forth between the banana inheritance pattern being an anomaly to it being a sex-linked trait, so it seems like it's all still up in the air. Rather than starting a new thread, I thought I'd just add these new findings to the OP's 'hypothetical scenario'.

link to NCBI summary (there is a link to the full paper, but you have to be a www.cell.com member, which I am not):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28690112/#fft

As I have not read the entire paper, and even if I have, I can not say for sure whether or not the OP's hypothesis is proven. It is quite interesting, and does provide a possible explanation for the Banana inheritance pattern. I do wish the OP was still around to comment (last online time was in 2015).

Anyway, let me know what you guys think. :)

The only evidence of a XY system previously was the banana. Warren Booth was researching pathogenesis and ran into problems with that on the ZW system and im sure he also knew about the anomaly with the banana gene. He not only showed pythons and boas to have an XY system, compared to rattle snakes which still have a ZW. He found the python and boa systems developed independently of each other. Giving the different location of the RAD markers. We all knew the XY system worked with the banana gene, just there was no evidence besides that to show an XY system as it contradicted years of published papers "proving" an ZW system. Warren was able to wash all that away assuming his research holds up, which so far it absolutely has.

Thanks for that link OhhWatALoser! Will definitely go through that paper in the next couple days. :cool:
