Speciation through chromosomal fusion and fission in Lepidoptera
Changes in chromosome numbers may strongly affect reproductive barriers, because
individuals heterozygous for distinct karyotypes are typically expected to be at least partially …

Advances in Silkworm Studies Accelerated by the Genome Sequencing of Bombyx mori
Q ** and comparative genomics using next-generation RAD sequencing of a non-model organism
Restriction-site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing is a powerful new method for targeted
sequencing across the genomes of many individuals. This approach has broad potential for …

The Glanville fritillary genome retains an ancient karyotype and reveals selective chromosomal fusions in Lepidoptera
Previous studies have reported that chromosome synteny in Lepidoptera has been well
conserved, yet the number of haploid chromosomes varies widely from 5 to 223. Here we …
