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.

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 ...

Poorly differentiated XX/XY sex chromosomes are widely shared across skink radiation
bioRxiv, 2020 Differentiated sex chromosomes are believed to be evolutionarily stable, and their emergence was suggested to lead to a remarkable increase in the diversification rate and in disparity in such groups as birds, mammals and snakes.

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.

An efficient RNA-seq-based segregation analysis identifies the sex chromosomes of Cannabis sativa
Genome Research, 2020 Cannabis sativa–derived tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) production is increasing very fast worldwide. C. sativa is a dioecious plant with XY Chromosomes, and only females (XX) are useful for THC production.

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

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,

The Origin of a New Sex Chromosome by Introgression between Two Stickleback Fishes. [PDF]
, 2019 Introgression is increasingly recognized as a source of genetic diversity that fuels adaptation. Its role in the evolution of sex chromosomes, however, is not well known. Here, we confirm the hypothesis that the Y chromosome in the ninespine stickleback,

A trans-species missense SNP in Amhr2 is associated with sex determination in the tiger pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes (fugu). [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Heterogametic sex chromosomes have evolved independently in various lineages of vertebrates. Such sex chromosome pairs often contain nonrecombining regions, with one of the chromosomes harboring a master sex-determining (SD) gene. It is hypothesized that
