The paper shows sex reversal in wild viviparous reptiles under thermal stress, revealing climate impacts on sex determination.

The paper investigates the evolution of sex chromosomes in varanid lizards, showing retrotransposons mediated gene recruitment and recombination suppression in the W chromosome.

The paper identifies sex-linked markers in a lizard with homomorphic sex chromosomes using transcriptomes from 3 males and 3 females, enabling PCR-based sexing and comparative analysis of sex determination systems.

The paper identifies sex-linked markers in the Australian frog Platyplectrum ornatum, revealing two distinct population clusters with different sex-determining systems.

This study identifies candidate sex-determining genes and examines dosage compensation mechanisms in reptiles using cytogenetic and linked-read sequencing.

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.
