This study examines sex chromosome evolution in beetles using genome assemblies, finding conserved X regions, variable Y chromosomes, and independent neo-X and neo-Y formation.

PhaseWY is a pipeline that identifies sex-chromosomal regions and extracts Y/W sequences from whole-genome sequencing data, demonstrating its utility in non-model organisms.

The paper examines introgression patterns in three damselfly hybrid zones, finding repeatable gene function effects and chromosome-specific constraints across different demographic histories.

The paper analyzes genomic erosion in three endangered bird species and compares them to 36 others to assess factors influencing genetic diversity and conservation status.

The paper compares reproductive isolation and hybridization patterns in two damselfly hybrid zones, finding context-dependent differences in prezygotic barriers and genomic introgression.

The paper identifies genomic regions and genes associated with Reed Warbler responses to Cuckoo brood parasitism across Europe using landscape genomics methods.

The paper tests reinforcement predictions in a damselfly hybrid zone, finding strengthened mechanical isolation in one cross direction but not all reinforcement predictions.

RecView identifies recombination positions in pedigrees using genotype data and visualizes grandparent-of-origin of alleles.

The study maps crossover positions in great reed warblers, revealing male-biased recombination near chromosome ends and sex-specific patterns in crossover distribution.

The paper maps recombination rates and genetic variation along the Z chromosome of great reed warblers, revealing extreme recombination variation and its impact on diversity and repeats.

FindZX detects and visualizes sex chromosomes using whole-genome sequencing data across diverse species and taxonomic groups.

The paper investigates the genetic structure of Pleurobranchaea maculata in New Zealand, finding significant microsatellite differentiation between northern and southern populations linked to tetrodotoxin levels, while mtDNA shows a star-shaped haplotype network suggesting a Pleistocene population expansion.
