Gap-free X and Y chromosomes of Salix arbutifolia reveal an evolutionary change from male to female heterogamety in willows, without a change in the sex-determining region

Y. Wang, L. He, G. Gong, R. Zhang, E. Hoerandl, D. Charlesworth

The paper assembles gap-free X and Y chromosomes of Salix arbutifolia, revealing evolutionary changes in sex determination from XY to ZW without altering the sex-determining region.

Partial sex linkage and linkage disequilibrium on the guppy sex chromosome

S. Qiu, L. Yong, A. Wilson, D. P. Croft, C. Graham, D. Charlesworth

The paper analyzes PoolSeq data from guppy populations to assess sex linkage and recombination suppression, finding evidence of linkage disequilibrium but no consistent male-specific variants.

Improved reference genome uncovers novel sex-linked regions in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

B. A. Fraser, J. R. Whiting, J. R. Paris, C. J. Weadick, P. J. Parsons, D. Charlesworth, R. Bergero, F. Bemm, M. Hoffmann, V. A. Kottler, C. Liu, C. Dreyer, D. Weigel

The paper presents an improved guppy reference genome using long-read sequencing, revealing novel sex-linked regions and resolving previous contradictions in Y chromosome studies.

Using GC content to compare recombination patterns on the sex chromosomes and autosomes of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, and its close outgroup species

D. Charlesworth, Y. Zhang, R. Bergero, J. Gardner, C. Graham, L. Yong

The paper uses GC content to infer recombination patterns in guppy chromosomes, finding high recombination rates near chromosome ends and no evidence of distinct XY recombination patterns.

Two antagonistic effect genes mediate separation of sexes in a fully dioecious plant

L. Xue, H. Wu, Y. Chen, X. Li, J. Hou, J. Lu, S. Wei, X. Dai, M. S. Olson, J. Liu, M. Wang, D. Charlesworth, T. Yin

The paper identifies two genes in Populus deltoides that antagonistically regulate sex determination by repressing female structures and promoting male structures through epigenetic and RNA-based mechanisms.

Evolution of sex determination and heterogamety changes in section Otites of the genus Silene

V. Balounova, R. Gogela, R. Cegan, P. Cangren, J. Zluvova, J. Safar, V. Kovacova, R. Bergero, R. Hobza, B. Vyskot, B. Oxelman, D. Charlesworth, B. Janousek

The paper investigates the evolution of sex determination in Silene section Otites, confirming female heterogamety in two species and suggesting a possible shift from female to male heterogamety.
