Stable but turbulent: the two faces of the germline-restricted chromosome of passerine birds

Stephen A. Schlebusch, Zuzana Halenková, Hugo Moreno, Jakub Rídl, Ondřej Kauzál, Alexander Suh, Karel Janko, Dmitrij Dedukh, Jan Pačes, Tomáš Albrecht, Radka Reifová

The paper presents complete GRC assemblies from passerine birds, revealing their composition, evolution, and dynamic nature despite their stability in the avian karyotype.

Germline-restricted chromosome of songbirds has different centromere compared to regular chromosomes

Jakub Rídl, Dmitrij Dedukh, Zuzana Halenková, Stephen A. Schlebusch, Vladimı́r Beneš, Mireia Osuna Lopez, Tomasz S. Osiejuk, Francisco J. Ruíz-Ruano, Alexander Suh, Tomáš Albrecht, Jiří Reif, Radka Reifová

The paper identifies a centromeric satellite repeat in songbirds and shows it is absent from the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC), suggesting sequence changes underlie its programmed elimination.

Sex Chromosome Turnover and Structural Interspecific Genome Divergence Shapes Meiotic Outcomes in Hybridizing Cobitis

S. A. Schlebusch, Vladimir A. Trifonov, Zuzana Halenková, Marharyta Klianitskaya, Dmitrij Dedukh, Aurora Ruiz‐Herrera, L. Alvarez Gonzalez, Gala Pujol, Eva Hřibová, Lucija Andjel, Oldřich Bartoš, Petr Pajer, Tomáš Tichopád, Daniel Kulik, Jan Kotusz, , Karel Janko

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for three hybridizing Cobitis species to study hybrid sterility and asexuality, revealing structural variation and sex chromosome divergence.
