The germline-restricted chromosome orchestrates germ cell development in passerine birds

Niki Vontzou, Yifan Pei, Israel Campo Bes…·Alexander Suh

The paper uses RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics in zebra finches to study the role of the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) in germ cell development, identifying its involvement in oocyte maturation and gene expression regulation.

Programmed DNA elimination drives rapid genomic innovation in two thirds of all bird species

Francisco J. Ruíz-Ruano, Stephen A. Schlebusch, Niki Vontzou…·Alexander Suh

The paper identifies germline-restricted chromosomes (GRCs) in 6,700 passerine species, showing rapid evolution and functional gene retention despite programmed DNA elimination.

Occasional paternal inheritance of the germline-restricted chromosome in songbirds

Yifan Pei, Wolfgang Forstmeier, Francisco J. Ruíz-Ruano…·Bart Kempenaers

The paper shows that the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) in zebra finches can be paternally inherited, challenging previous assumptions of strict maternal transmission.
