The paper analyzes evolutionary rates of 100 meiotic recombination proteins across 400 placental mammals, finding that rapid evolution is driven by reduced purifying selection and linked to chromosome pairing proteins in long-lived species.

The paper links karyotype evolution to meiotic recombination by analyzing holocentric genomes and crossover patterns in Rhynchospora species.

The paper identifies genomic and transcriptomic changes associated with chromosomal instability and seasonal brain size plasticity in the Eurasian common shrew.

The paper uses chromosome-level genome assembly and historical museum collections to study waterbuck population structure and chromosome evolution, finding genomic differentiation and recombination patterns linked to Robertsonian fusions.

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.

This study presents a single-cell multiomics atlas of zebrafish spermatogenesis, identifying key transcriptional states, DNA methylation changes, and chromatin accessibility patterns involved in male germline formation.

The paper shows that clitellates experienced a burst of genomic rearrangements leading to loss of macrosynteny with marine annelids and new chromosomal interactions.

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.

This study shows that DOT1L has opposing effects on gene expression in mouse spermatogenesis depending on chromatin environment, repressing some genes and activating others, particularly on the X chromosome.

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.

This paper reports the 3D genome architecture of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth using a novel method, revealing conserved epigenetic features across elephantids.

This study compares meiotic DSB and synapsis dynamics in American and Australian marsupials, revealing evolutionary shifts in meiotic programs.

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.

The paper introduces a method to compute genetic distances between complex repeats, accounting for mutations, insertions, deletions, and duplications, and applies it to study PRDM9 zinc-finger repeats in house mice.
