From 338 beetle genomes, eight ancestral linkage groups were inferred; rearrangement rates vary widely, peaking in major radiations, and the X chromosome dates to Holometabola's ancestor.

The paper reconstructs ancestral linkage groups in 340 dipteran genomes to study chromosome evolution, finding conserved groups in Nematoceran lineages and chromosomal fissions in Brachycera.

This study generates chromosome-scale genome assemblies of germline restricted chromosomes (GRCs) in fungus gnats and finds they evolve dynamically with gene-rich content under strong purifying selection.

The paper shows extreme genome scrambling in cryptic Oikopleura dioica species, revealing high rates of gene order rearrangements and insights into synteny conservation mechanisms.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Oikopleura dioica using Nanopore, Illumina, and Hi-C data, revealing chromosomal structure and genomic features.
