A large and diverse autosomal haplotype is associated with sex-linked colour polymorphism in the guppy

J. R. Paris, J. R. Whiting, M. J. Daniel, J. Ferrer Obiol, P. J. Parsons, M. J. van der Zee, C. W. Wheat, K. A. Hughes, B. A. Fraser

The paper identifies a large autosomal haplotype associated with sex-linked color polymorphism in guppies, challenging the traditional view of color genes being on the sex chromosome.

On the genetic architecture of rapidly adapting and convergent life history traits in guppies

J. R. Whiting, J. R. Paris, P. J. Parsons, S. Matthews, Y. Reynoso, K. A. Hughes, D. Reznick, B. A. Fraser

This study investigates the genetic architecture of life history traits in guppies, finding polygenic traits underlie rapid adaptation but may limit genetic convergence across populations.

Drainage-structuring of ancestral variation and a common functional pathway shape limited genomic convergence in natural high- and low-predation guppies

J. R. Whiting, J. R. Paris, M. J. van der Zee, P. J. Parsons, D. Weigel, B. A. Fraser

The paper examines genomic convergence in guppies across different drainages, finding limited shared adaptive variation but repeated selection on cadherin signaling pathways and a common haplotype.

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.

The schizophrenia risk locus in SLC39A8 alters brain metal transport and plasma glycosylation

R. G. Mealer, B. J. Jenkins, C.-Y. Chen, M. J. Daly, T. Ge, S. D. Lehoux, T. Marquardt, C. D. Palmer, J. H. Park, P. J. Parsons, R. Sackstein, S. E. Williams, R. D. Cummings, E. M. Scolnick, J. W. Smoller

The paper investigates how a common SLC39A8 variant affects brain metal transport and plasma glycosylation in schizophrenia, identifying manganese-related changes and potential biomarkers.
