Teaching transposon classification as a means to crowd source the curation of repeat annotation - a tardigrade perspective

V. Peona, J. Martelossi, D. Almojil, J. Bocharkina, I. Brännström, M. Brown, A. Cang, T. Carrasco-Valenzuela, J. DeVries, M. Doellman, D. Elsner, P. Espindola-Hernandez, G. Friis, B. Gaspar, D. Zagorski, , A. Suh

The paper presents a crowd-sourcing approach to manually curate and classify transposable elements (TEs) from tardigrade genomes, resulting in the discovery of hundreds of new TEs.

The hidden structural variability in avian genomes

V. Peona, M. Blom, C. Frankl-Vilches, B. Mila, H. Ashari, C. Thebaud, B. W. Benz, L. Christidis, M. Gahr, M. Irestedt, A. Suh

This study identifies high structural variant density on avian W chromosomes using long-read and linked-read assemblies, revealing greater genetic variability than previously thought.

Involvement of non-LTR retrotransposons in the cancer incidence and lifespan of mammals

M. Ricci, V. Peona, C. Taccioli

This study compares TE activity in long-lived/cancer-resistant and short-lived/cancer-prone mammals, finding suppressed non-LTR retrotransposons in the former and recent accumulation in the latter.

Recurrent chromosome reshuffling and the evolution of neo-sex chromosomes in parrots

Z. Huang, I. Furo, V. Peona, J. Liu, A. J. B. Gomes, W. Cen, H. Huang, Y. Zhang, D. Chen, T. Xue, Y. Chen, Q. Zhang, Z. Yue, A. Suh, E. H. C. de Oliveira, L. Xu

This study identifies recurrent chromosome fusions and gene losses in parrots, revealing the role of transposable elements and genetic drift in neo-sex chromosome evolution.

The avian W chromosome is a refugium for endogenous retroviruses with likely effects on female-biased mutational load and genetic incompatibilities

V. Peona, O. M. Palacios-Gimenez, J. Blommaert, J. Liu, T. Haryoko, K. A. Jonsson, M. Irestedt, Q. Zhou, P. Jern, A. Suh

The paper identifies the avian W chromosome as a reservoir for active endogenous retroviruses, potentially contributing to female-biased mutational load and genetic incompatibilities.

Dynamic evolutionary history and gene content of sex chromosomes across diverse songbirds

L.-h. Xu, G. Auer, V. Peona, A. Suh, Y. Deng, S.-h. Feng, G.-j. Zhang, M. Blom, L. Christidis, S. Prost, M. Irestedt, Q. Zhou

This study investigates the evolutionary history of sex chromosomes in songbirds, identifying four recombination suppression steps and a burst of retrotransposon activity associated with strata formation.
