DNA methylation regulates a key sex differentiation gene in Pogona vitticeps, a dragon lizard with sex reversal

Benjamin J. Hanrahan, Susan Wagner, Nicholas C. Lister, Sarah L. Whiteley, Lei Xiong, Arthur Georges, Paul D. Waters

The paper investigates DNA methylation's role in sex differentiation in Pogona vitticeps, finding that Amh gene expression is regulated by methylation in both genetic and temperature-induced females.

Characterising differential gene expression and alternative splicing in a sex reversing skink, Bassiana duperreyi

Benjamin J. Hanrahan, Jong-How Chang, Duminda S. B. Dissanayake, Nicholas C. Lister, Arthur Georges, Paul D. Waters

The paper investigates alternative splicing and gene expression differences in three sex conditions of the eastern three-lined skink, identifying sex reversal-specific intron retention in Ttll7.

Sex chromosome dosage compensation in a sex reversing skink is not influenced by sexual phenotype

Benjamin J. Hanrahan, J King Chang, Ashley Monique Milton, Nicholas C. Lister, Duminda S. B. Dissanayake, J. W. Hammond, Andre L. M. Reis, Ira W. Deveson, Aurora Ruiz‐Herrera, Hardip R. Patel, Jennifer A. Marshall Graves, Arthur Georges, Paul D. Waters

The paper investigates dosage compensation in the eastern three-lined skink, finding that X chromosome expression in sex-reversed individuals matches their genotype rather than phenotype.

A telomere to telomere phased genome assembly and annotation for the Australian central bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps

Hardip R. Patel, Kirat Alreja, Andre L. M. Reis, Jong-How Chang, Zahra A. Chew, Hyungtaek Jung, J. W. Hammond, Ira W. Deveson, Aurora Ruiz‐Herrera, Laia Marín-Gual, Clare E. Holleley, Xiuwen Zhang, Nicholas C. Lister, Sarah L. Whiteley, Lei Xiong, , Arthur Georges

The paper presents a high-quality, telomere-to-telomere genome assembly and annotation for the central bearded dragon, providing insights into its sex determination mechanisms.

Microchromosomes are building blocks of bird, reptile and mammal chromosomes

Paul D. Waters, Hardip R. Patel, Aurora Ruiz‐Herrera, Lucía Álvarez-González, Nicholas C. Lister, Oleg Simakov, Tariq Ezaz, Parwinder Kaur, Céline Frère, Frank Grützner, Arthur Georges, Jennifer A. Marshall Graves

The paper traces the origin and evolution of microchromosomes across birds, reptiles, and mammals, finding they are conserved and functionally coherent, with mammals being atypical in losing them.
