The paper uses long-read RNA-Seq to show that male isoform richness in Poecilia reticulata reflects transcriptional noise rather than proteomic complexity.

The paper reports the genome of the Amazon guppy, revealing conserved sex chromosomes and complete X chromosome dosage compensation despite Y chromosome degeneration.

The paper identifies a novel sex-determining gene in willows that replaces the ancestral ARR17-like duplicates in the S. polyclona complex.

The paper identifies a recent transposon wave that remodelled the X chromosome epigenome, leading to a novel dosage compensation mechanism in Poecilia picta.

The paper compares analytical methods for studying young sex chromosomes in guppies, finding that reference genome choice significantly affects results.

The paper examines Y chromosome diversity in Poecilia parae, revealing five distinct Y haplotypes associated with different male reproductive morphs despite recombination suppression.

The paper identifies conserved sex-biased DNA methylation patterns in guppy sex chromosomes and related tissues, linking them to testis-specific gene regulation and evolutionary constraints.
