Multi-genome comparisons reveal gain-and-loss evolution of the anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 gene, an old master sex determining gene, in Percidae

The paper compares genomes across multiple fish species to study the evolutionary changes in the amhr2bY gene, a key sex-determining gene, revealing gains and losses in different Percidae species.

An ancient truncated duplication of the anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 gene is a potential conserved master sex determinant in the Pangasiidae catfish family

The paper identifies a truncated duplication of the amhr2 gene on the Y chromosome in Pangasiid catfishes as a conserved master sex-determining gene.

Genome-wide RNA structure changes during human neurogenesis drive gene regulatory networks

This study examines RNA structure changes during human neurogenesis and their role in gene regulation, finding that RNA structure dynamics are linked to translation, decay, and regulatory mechanisms involving RBPs and miRNAs.

RADSex: a computational workflow to study sex determination using Restriction Site-Associated DNA Sequencing data

RADSex is a computational workflow for analyzing RAD-Seq data to identify sex determination systems, uncovering new sex-specific markers in fish species.

Sex chromosome and sex locus characterization in the goldfish, Carassius auratus

This study characterizes the sex determination system and sex chromosomes in goldfish, identifying a large non-recombining region on linkage group 22 as the likely Y chromosome and developing sex-linked genetic markers.

Characterization of a Y-specific duplication/insertion of the anti-Mullerian hormone type II receptor gene based on a chromosome-scale genome assembly of yellow perch, Perca flavescens

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of yellow perch and identifies a Y-specific duplication of the amhr2 gene as a candidate sex determination gene.

Chimeras Link to Tandem Repeats and Transposable Elements in Tetraploid Hybrid Fish

The paper identifies DNA chimeras linked to tandem repeats and transposable elements in allotetraploid fish, showing their role in balancing sub-genomes and reducing genomic shock.

Chimeric Genes Revealed in the Polyploidy Fish Hybrids of Carassius cuvieri (Female) x Megalobrama amblycephala (Male)

The paper analyzes polyploid fish hybrids to identify chimeric and mutated genes, finding high proportions in both tetraploid and triploid hybrids and linking some to phenotypic traits.
