Transposable elements underlie chromosomal fusions and fissions in a highly species-rich group of butterflies

Camille Cornet, Tobias Baril, Charlotte J Wright, Kay Lucek

The paper identifies transposable elements, particularly R1-like LINE retrotransposons, as contributors to chromosomal fusions and fissions in butterflies, but also finds gene-related factors play a role.

Rapid chromosomal evolution and polycentromeric drive in sedges and rushes

James I McCulloch, Marcela Uliano‐Silva, Charlotte J Wright, Ian R. Henderson, Sam Ebdon, Kamil S. Jaroň, Mark Blaxter

The paper investigates chromosomal evolution in sedges and rushes, finding evidence of polycentromeres and their impact on genome rearrangement rates and segregation patterns.

The 229 chromosomes of the Atlas blue butterfly reveal rules constraining chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera

Charlotte J Wright, Dominic E. Absolon, Martin Gascoigne‐Pees, Roger Vila, Mara Lawniczak, Mark Blaxter

The study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Atlas blue butterfly, revealing constraints on chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera through extensive fission and fusion events.

Lepidoptera genomics based on 88 chromosomal reference sequences informs population genetic parameters for conservation

Chiara Bortoluzzi, Charlotte J Wright, Sang-Jin Lee, Trevor Cousins, Thiago A. L. Genez, David Thybert, Fergal J. Martin, Leanne S. Haggerty, Mark Blaxter, Richard Michael Durbin

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze 88 Lepidoptera genomes, identifying genomic signatures linked to conservation concerns like low heterozygosity and high inbreeding.
