Sex Differences in Recombination in Sticklebacks. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Recombination often differs markedly between males and females. Here we present the first analysis of sex-specific recombination in Gasterosteus sticklebacks. Using whole-genome sequencing of 15 crosses between G. aculeatus and G.

Chromosome mapping of repetitive sequences in Anostomidae species: implications for genomic and sex chromosome evolution

open access: yesMolecular Cytogenetics, 2012
Background Members of the Anostomidae family provide an interesting model system for the study of the influence of repetitive elements on genome composition, mainly because they possess numerous heterochromatic segments and a peculiar system of female ...

How to make a sex chromosome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sex chromosomes can evolve once recombination is halted between a homologous pair of chromosomes. Owing to detailed studies using key model systems, we have a nuanced understanding and a rich review literature of what happens to sex chromosomes once ...

Karyotype and male meiosis in Spartocera batatas and meiotic behaviour of multiple sex chromosomes in Coreidae (Heteroptera)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
The Coreidae (Heteroptera) have holokinetic chromosomes and during male meiosis the autosomal bivalents segregate reductionally at anaphase I while the sex chromosomes do so equationally. The modal diploid chromosome number of the family is 2n = 21, with

Using conventional F-statistics to study unconventional sex-chromosome differentiation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Species with undifferentiated sex chromosomes emerge as key organisms to understand the astonishing diversity of sex-determination systems. Whereas new genomic methods are widening opportunities to study these systems, the difficulty to separately ...

Mismatches between the genetic and phenotypic sex in the wild Kou population of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Sex determination and sex chromosomes can be very diverse between teleost species. The group of tilapias shows a polymorphism in sex determination not only between closely related species but also between domestic strains within a species.

Avian W and mammalian Y chromosomes convergently retained dosage-sensitive regulators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
After birds diverged from mammals, different ancestral autosomes evolved into sex chromosomes in each lineage. In birds, females are ZW and males are ZZ, but in mammals females are XX and males are XY.

Genetic and cytological analyses reveal the recombination landscape of a partially differentiated plant sex chromosome in kiwifruit

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Angiosperm sex chromosomes, where present, are generally recently evolved. The key step in initiating the development of sex chromosomes from autosomes is the establishment of a sex-determining locus within a region of non-recombination.

Comparative analysis of sex chromosomes in Leporinus species (Teleostei, Characiformes) using chromosome painting. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: The Leporinus genus, belonging to the Anostomidae family, is an interesting model for studies of sex chromosome evolution in fish, particularly because of the presence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes only in some species of the genus.

The multiple sex chromosomes of platypus and echidna are not completely identical and several share homology with the avian Z. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
BACKGROUND: Sex-determining systems have evolved independently in vertebrates. Placental mammals and marsupials have an XY system, birds have a ZW system.
