The paper uses long-read RNA-Seq to show that male isoform richness in Poecilia reticulata reflects transcriptional noise rather than proteomic complexity.

The paper reports the genome of the Amazon guppy, revealing conserved sex chromosomes and complete X chromosome dosage compensation despite Y chromosome degeneration.

This study uses deep learning to analyze the genetic basis of male guppy color variation, revealing a polygenic and genome-wide architecture with contributions from neural crest cell migration loci and gene duplicates across sex chromosomes.

The paper identifies a novel sex-determining gene in willows that replaces the ancestral ARR17-like duplicates in the S. polyclona complex.

The paper studies allopolyploidization in weeping willow, showing how sex chromosomes evolve and revert after hybridization between two dioecious species.

The paper identifies a recent transposon wave that remodelled the X chromosome epigenome, leading to a novel dosage compensation mechanism in Poecilia picta.

The paper compares analytical methods for studying young sex chromosomes in guppies, finding that reference genome choice significantly affects results.

The paper examines Y chromosome diversity in Poecilia parae, revealing five distinct Y haplotypes associated with different male reproductive morphs despite recombination suppression.

The paper identifies conserved sex-biased DNA methylation patterns in guppy sex chromosomes and related tissues, linking them to testis-specific gene regulation and evolutionary constraints.

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.
