The paper investigates the loss of a supergene haplotype in obligately polygynous Formica ants using comparative genomics and finds that the derived haplotype P is absent in two species except for duplicated paralogs of specific genes.

The paper identifies a novel supergene in the ant Myrmica ruginodis linked to queen size and colony social organization through whole-genome sequencing of 95 queens.

The paper maps recombination rates and genetic variation along the Z chromosome of great reed warblers, revealing extreme recombination variation and its impact on diversity and repeats.

FindZX detects and visualizes sex chromosomes using whole-genome sequencing data across diverse species and taxonomic groups.
