Scientific Reports, 2017 Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) constitute large portion of eukaryote genomes, comprising non-protein-coding sequences tandemly repeated. They are mostly found in heterochromatic regions of chromosomes such as around centromere or near telomeres, in intercalary

Multiple gene movements into and out of haploid sex chromosomes
Genome Biology, 2017 BackgroundLong-term evolution of sex chromosomes is a dynamic process shaped by gene gain and gene loss. Sex chromosome gene traffic has been studied in XY and ZW systems but no detailed analyses have been carried out for haploid phase UV sex chromosomes.

Sex Steroids and Sex Chromosomes at Odds? [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2005 Alfred Jost’s proposal in the 1940s (1) that testes are crucial for the development of the male phenotype, and that without them the body develops in a female direction, has been driving research in the field of sexual differentiation for more than half a century.

Shared and species-specific patterns of nascent Y chromosome evolution in two guppy species [PDF]
, 2018 Sex chromosomes form once recombination is halted around the sex-determining locus between a homologous pair of chromosomes, resulting in a male-limited Y chromosome.

PLoS Genetics, 2020 Sex chromosomes of eutherian mammals are highly different in size and gene content, and share only a small region of homology (pseudoautosomal region, PAR).

SEX-DETector: A Probabilistic Approach to Study Sex Chromosomes in Non-Model Organisms
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2016 We propose a probabilistic framework to infer autosomal and sex-linked genes from RNA-seq data of a cross for any sex chromosome type (XY, ZW, and UV).

A specific insertion of a solo-LTR characterizes the Y-chromosome of
BMC Research Notes, 2010 Background Relatively few species of flowering plants are dioecious and even fewer are known to have sex chromosomes. Current theory posits that homomorphic sex chromosomes, such as found in Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae), offer insight into the early ...

Sex chromosomes and genetic association studies. [PDF]
, 2011 Although the literature concerning statistical testing for genotype-phenotype association in family-based and population-based studies is very extensive, until recently the sex chromosomes have received little attention.

Empirical evidence for large X-effects in animals with undifferentiated sex chromosomes
Scientific Reports, 2016 Reproductive isolation is crucial for the process of speciation to progress. Sex chromosomes have been assigned a key role in driving reproductive isolation but empirical evidence from natural population processes has been restricted to organisms with ...

Plant sex determination and sex chromosomes [PDF]
Heredity, 2002 Sex determination systems in plants have evolved many times from hermaphroditic ancestors (including monoecious plants with separate male and female flowers on the same individual), and sex chromosome systems have arisen several times in flowering plant evolution.
