The paper presents a population-scale Y chromosome reference panel with 142 assemblies, revealing structural and epigenetic variation across 180,000 years of evolution.

This paper introduces SCINKD, a tool to identify sex chromosome linkage groups and curate misassembled regions in a single diploid genome.

The paper creates a variant benchmark for X and Y chromosomes using a complete assembly of HG002, highlighting challenges in variant detection in complex regions.

The paper analyzes CR1 retrotransposon evolution across reptiles to reveal lineage-specific genome dynamics and differences in TE-host interactions.

The paper produces gapless assemblies of ape sex chromosomes for five great apes and a lesser ape, revealing divergence in Y chromosomes and evolutionary dynamics.

The paper investigates how excluding the X chromosome in human genomics affects variant calling and finds that using a sex chromosome-aware reference genome allows reliable variant calls across the entire X chromosome.

This paper reviews recent advances in squamate genomics, highlighting the exponential growth in high-quality genome assemblies and their utility for studying sex chromosome and microchromosome evolution.

This paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for the leopard gecko, identifying factors affecting assembly contiguity and providing a resource for squamate genomics.

The paper examines X chromosome inactivation in the human placenta and finds it is patchy, differing from the mosaic pattern observed in adult tissues.

This paper reviews and reanalyzes data on the evolution of sex chromosomes in guppies and their relatives, finding no nonrecombining sex determining region or evolutionary strata in P. reticulata.
