GENE DUPLICATION TO THE Y CHROMOSOME IN TRINIDADIAN GUPPIES

Y. Lin, I. Darolti, B. L. S. Furman, P. Almeida, B. A. Sandkam, F. Breden, A. E. Wright, J. E. Mank

The paper identifies gene duplications to the Y chromosome in guppies, suggesting it resolves sexual conflict over survival rather than unresolved conflict.

Evolutionary dynamics of transposable elements in bdelloid rotifers

R. W. Nowell, C. G. Wilson, P. Almeida, P. H. Schiffer, D. Fontaneto, L. Becks, F. Rodriguez, I. R. Arkhipova, T. G. Barraclough

This study analyzes TE dynamics in bdelloid rotifers, finding active TEs at frequencies similar to sexual species and expanded RNAi-related genes.

Divergence and Remarkable Diversity of the Y Chromosome in Guppies

P. Almeida, B. A. Sandkam, J. Morris, I. Darolti, F. Breden, J. E. Mank

This study examines Y chromosome divergence and diversity in guppies, finding that recombination suppression occurs through gradual mechanisms rather than inversions, and that haplotype diversity is linked to female preference for rare color variations.

Single-molecule genome assembly of the Basket Willow, Salix viminalis, reveals earliest stages of sex chromosome expansion

P. Almeida, E. Proux-Wera, A. Churcher, L. Soler, J. Dainat, P. Pucholt, J. Nordlund, T. Martin, A. C. Rönnberg-Wästljung, B. Nystedt, S. Berlin, J. E. Mank

This study assembles and annotates the genome of Salix viminalis to investigate early stages of sex chromosome formation, revealing low Z/W divergence and conserved gene order.

Comparative genomics of bdelloid rotifers: evaluating the effects of asexuality and desiccation tolerance on genome evolution

R. W. Nowell, P. Almeida, C. G. Wilson, T. P. Smith, D. Fontaneto, A. Crisp, G. Micklem, A. Tunnacliffe, C. Boschetti, T. G. Barraclough

This study compares genome evolution in bdelloid rotifers to assess the impact of asexuality and desiccation tolerance, finding that desiccation is not the primary driver of genomic features previously attributed to asexuality.
