The paper identifies Y-linked sequences in two Neotropical malaria vectors using YGS and CQ methods, revealing gene-poor, repeat-rich Y chromosomes with no intact protein-coding genes.

The paper shows that XXY females are common in Drosophila mojavensis and related species, with high frequencies in lab strains and natural populations, and explains their prevalence through meiotic drive.

Digital Kennison maps Y-linked sequences to Drosophila melanogaster fertility regions using computational methods, achieving 97% precision and reducing time from weeks to minutes.

The paper identifies non-B DNA structures as the cause of sequencing bias against simple satellite DNA in long-read sequencing and suggests solutions to mitigate this bias.

The paper sequenced genomes of Anopheles mosquitoes to identify cryptic species within An. cruzii and An. bellator, finding at least five and three species respectively, but not in An. homunculus.

The paper investigates the evolutionary conservation of Meiotic Sex Chromosome Inactivation (MSCI) across Drosophila species by analyzing transcriptomes during spermatogenesis, revealing its role in regulating gene expression patterns.

OligoY pipeline designs FISH Oligopaint probes for the Y chromosome, improving staining efficiency and reducing off-target signals in Drosophila melanogaster.

The paper identifies sequencing bias in Nanopore and PacBio that prevents assembly of Y-linked genes in Drosophila melanogaster, highlighting issues with read initiation, elongation, and base-calling near satellite sequences.

This paper identifies a Y-linked gene in Triatoma infestans orthologous to Drosophila kl-3, showing it is essential for male fertility through knockdown experiments.
