Evolution of sex-biased genes in Drosophila species with neo-sex chromosomes: potential contribution to reducing sexual conflict

The paper examines sex-biased gene expression in Drosophila species with and without neo-sex chromosomes, finding more sex-biased genes in species with neo-sex chromosomes, suggesting a reduction in sexual conflict.

Testing immediate dosage compensation by irradiation of heavy-ion beams to Drosophila miranda

This study tests if immediate dosage compensation occurs in Drosophila miranda by inducing neo-Y deletions and analyzing gene expression in F1 males.

Direct link between convergent evolution at sequence level and phenotypic level of septal pore cap in Agaricomycotina

The paper identifies amino acid substitutions in spc33 as critical for the evolution of perforate septal pore caps in multiple fungal lineages.

Evolutionary trajectories of three independent neo-sex chromosomes in Drosophila

The paper compares the evolutionary patterns of neo-sex chromosomes in three Drosophila species, finding accelerated pseudogenization and shared functional constraints across neo-X and neo-Y chromosomes.
