The paper evaluates W chromosome assemblies in Bombyx mori, finding them structurally flawed but revealing reduced repetitive DNA diversity and rapid repeat turnover.

The paper examines karyotype variation in Polyommatine butterflies, finding that the W sex chromosome remains intact despite chromosome fragmentation.

This study investigates the W chromosome in ghost moths, revealing large genomes, absence of typical sex chromatin, and potential origin from a B chromosome.

The paper investigates rDNA re-patterning in Lepidoptera, showing satellite arrays drive homology-mediated spread through extrachromosomal circles or ectopic recombination.

The paper presents the first genome of Nesidiocoris tenuis, a predatory bug with dual roles as a biological control agent and pest, using linked-read sequencing and various genomic analyses.

The paper identifies a Y-linked gene, MoY, essential for male sex determination in medflies and shows its conservation across multiple fruit fly species, enabling potential genetic control strategies.
