A chromosome-level genome sequence of a model chrysanthemum: evolution and 1 reference for hexaploid cultivated chrysanthemum

M. Nakano, H. Hirakawa, E. Fukai, A. Toyoda, R. Kajitani, Y. Minakuchi, T. Itoh, Y. Higuchi, T. Kozuka, H. Bono, K. Shirasawa, I. Shiraiwa, K. Sumitomo, T. Hisamatsu, M. Shibata, , M. Kusaba

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome sequence of a diploid chrysanthemum, identifies recent retrotransposon activity, and demonstrates its utility for positional cloning and breeding.

Evolutionary trajectories of three independent neo-sex chromosomes in Drosophila

M. Nozawa, Y. Minakuchi, K. Satomura, S. Kondo, A. Toyoda, K. Tamura

The paper compares the evolutionary patterns of neo-sex chromosomes in three Drosophila species, finding accelerated pseudogenization and shared functional constraints across neo-X and neo-Y chromosomes.

Large DNA virus promoted the endosymbiotic evolution to make a photosynthetic eukaryote

M. Matsuo, A. Katahata, M. Tachikawa, Y. Minakuchi, H. Noguchi, A. Toyoda, A. Fujiyama, Y. Suzuki, T. Hata, S. Satoh, T. Nakayama, R. Kamikawa, M. Nomura, Y. Inagaki, K.-i. Ishida, J. Obokata

This study shows that a large DNA virus played a key role in the rapid genome reorganization and gene transfer during the endosymbiotic evolution of a photosynthetic amoeba.

Repeated inversions at the pannier intron drive diversification of intraspecific colour patterns of ladybird beetles

T. Ando, T. Matsuda, K. Goto, K. Hara, A. Ito, J. Hirata, J. Yatomi, R. Kajitani, M. Okuno, K. Yamaguchi, M. Kobayashi, T. Takano, Y. Minakuchi, M. Seki, Y. Suzuki, , T. Niimi

The paper identifies pannier as a key regulatory gene for color pattern variation in ladybird beetles and shows that inversions and cis-regulatory changes at this gene drive intraspecific diversity.
