Comparative sex chromosome genomics in snakes: differentiation, evolutionary strata, and lack of global dosage compensation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 Snakes exhibit genetic sex determination, with female heterogametic sex chromosomes (ZZ males, ZW females). Extensive cytogenetic work has suggested that the level of sex chromosome heteromorphism varies among species, with Boidae having entirely ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Heteropteran insects exhibit a remarkable diversity of meiotic processes, including coexistence of different chromosomes types with different behavior during the first meiotic division, non-chiasmatic segregation, and inverted meiosis.

Meiotic pairing and segregation of achiasmate sex chromosomes in eutherian mammals: the role of SYCP3 protein. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 In most eutherian mammals, sex chromosomes synapse and recombine during male meiosis in a small region called pseudoautosomal region. However in some species sex chromosomes do not synapse, and how these chromosomes manage to ensure their proper ...

Sex Chromosomes and Sex Determination in Dioecious Agricultural Plants
Agronomy, 2023 Unlike in animals, dioecy among flowering plants is a rare phenomenon. The vast majority of angiosperm species have a bisexual flower that combines male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive organs.

Sex chromosome positions in human interphase nuclei as studied by in situ hybridization with chromosome specific DNA probes [PDF]
, 1984 Two cloned repetitive DNA probes, pXBR and CY1, which bind preferentially to specific regions of the human X and Y chromosome, respectively, were used to study the distribution of the sex chromosomes in human lymphocyte nuclei by in situ hybridization ...

Sex-limited chromosomes and non-reproductive traits
BMC Biology, 2022 Sex chromosomes are typically viewed as having originated from a pair of autosomes, and differentiated as the sex-limited chromosome (e.g. Y) has degenerated by losing most genes through cessation of recombination.

De novo transcriptome assembly reveals sex-specific selection acting on evolving neo-sex chromosomes in Drosophila miranda. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundThe Drosophila miranda neo-sex chromosome system is a useful resource for studying recently evolved sex chromosomes. However, the neo-Y genomic assembly is fragmented due to the accumulation of repetitive sequence.

Partial dosage compensation in Strepsiptera, a sister group of beetles. [PDF]
, 2015 Sex chromosomes have evolved independently in many different taxa, and so have mechanisms to compensate for expression differences on sex chromosomes in males and females. Different clades have evolved vastly different ways to achieve dosage compensation,

Snake W Sex Chromosome: The Shadow of Ancestral Amniote Super-Sex Chromosome
Cells, 2020 Heteromorphic sex chromosomes, particularly the ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system of birds and some reptiles, undergo evolutionary dynamics distinct from those of autosomes. The W sex chromosome is a unique karyological member of this heteromorphic pair, which
