The paper identifies transposable elements, particularly R1-like LINE retrotransposons, as contributors to chromosomal fusions and fissions in butterflies, but also finds gene-related factors play a role.

The paper investigates chromosomal evolution in sedges and rushes, finding evidence of polycentromeres and their impact on genome rearrangement rates and segregation patterns.

The study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Atlas blue butterfly, revealing constraints on chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera through extensive fission and fusion events.

This study identifies a long non-coding RNA, ivory, at the cortex locus that controls adaptive colouration in butterflies by modulating pigmentation patterns through CRISPR mutagenesis.

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze 88 Lepidoptera genomes, identifying genomic signatures linked to conservation concerns like low heterozygosity and high inbreeding.

The paper assembles and compares chromosome-level genomes of two Hyles hawkmoth species, revealing conserved synteny and chromosomal rearrangements.
