Tempo and mode in karyotype evolution revealed by a probabilistic model incorporating both chromosome number and morphology. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Karyotype, including the chromosome and arm numbers, is a fundamental genetic characteristic of all organisms and has long been used as a species-diagnostic character.

A high-quality Buxus austro-yunnanensis (Buxales) genome provides new insights into karyotype evolution in early eudicots [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Eudicots are the most diverse group of flowering plants that compromise five well-defined lineages: core eudicots, Ranunculales, Proteales, Trochodendrales, and Buxales.

Mechanisms of Rapid Karyotype Evolution in Mammals. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2023 Chromosome reshuffling events are often a foundational mechanism by which speciation can occur, giving rise to highly derivative karyotypes even amongst closely related species.

Dynamic turnover of centromeres drives karyotype evolution in Drosophila [PDF]
eLife, 2019 Centromeres are the basic unit for chromosome inheritance, but their evolutionary dynamics is poorly understood. We generate high-quality reference genomes for multiple Drosophila obscura group species to reconstruct karyotype evolution.

Oligo-barcode illuminates holocentric karyotype evolution in Rhynchospora (Cyperaceae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceHolocentric karyotypes are assumed to rapidly evolve through chromosome fusions and fissions due to the diffuse nature of their centromeres. Here, we took advantage of the recent availability of a chromosome-scale reference genome for Rhynchospora ...

Detecting Mechanisms of Karyotype Evolution in Heterotaxis (Orchidaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The karyotype is shaped by different chromosome rearrangements during species evolution. However, determining which rearrangements are responsible for karyotype changes is a challenging task and the combination of a robust phylogeny with refined ...

Interspecies Chromosome Mapping in Caprimulgiformes, Piciformes, Suliformes, and Trogoniformes (Aves): Cytogenomic Insight into Microchromosome Organization and Karyotype Evolution in Birds. [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Interchromosomal rearrangements involving microchromosomes are rare events in birds. To date, they have been found mostly in Psittaciformes, Falconiformes, and Cuculiformes, although only a few orders have been analyzed.

Chromosome fusions shaped karyotype evolution and evolutionary relationships in the model family Brassicaceae. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe ancestral crucifer karyotype and 22 conserved genomic blocks (CGBs) facilitate phylogenomic analyses in the Brassicaceae. Chromosomal rearrangements reshuffled CGBs of ancestral chromosomes during karyotype evolution.
