What have we learned from the first 500 avian genomes?
The increased capacity of DNA sequencing has significantly advanced our understanding of
the phylogeny of birds and the proximate and ultimate mechanisms molding their genomic …

Expanding the classical paradigm: what we have learnt from vertebrates about sex chromosome evolution
Until recently, the field of sex chromosome evolution has been dominated by the canonical
unidirectional scenario, first developed by Muller in 1918. This model postulates that sex …

The genomes of all lungfish inform on genome expansion and tetrapod evolution
The genomes of living lungfishes can inform on the molecular-developmental basis of the
Devonian sarcopterygian fish–tetrapod transition. We de novo sequenced the genomes of …

Identifying the causes and consequences of assembly gaps using a multiplatform genome assembly of a bird‐of‐paradise
Genome assemblies are currently being produced at an impressive rate by consortia and
individual laboratories. The low costs and increasing efficiency of sequencing technologies …

Sex chromosomes in meiotic, hemiclonal, clonal and polyploid hybrid vertebrates: along the 'extended speciation continuum'
We review knowledge about the roles of sex chromosomes in vertebrate hybridization and
speciation, exploring a gradient of divergences with increasing reproductive isolation …

A brief review of vertebrate sex evolution with a pledge for integrative research: towards 'sexomics'
Triggers and biological processes controlling male or female gonadal differentiation vary in
vertebrates, with sex determination (SD) governed by environmental factors or simple to …

Sex chromosomes as supergenes of speciation: why amphibians defy the rules?
C Dufresnes, PA Crochet - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
As reflected by the two rules of speciation (Haldane's rule and the large X-/Z-effect), sex
chromosomes are expected to behave like supergenes of speciation: they recombine only in …

Recurrent chromosome reshuffling and the evolution of neo-sex chromosomes in parrots
The karyotype of most birds has remained considerably stable during more than 100 million
years' evolution, except for some groups, such as parrots. The evolutionary processes and …

The genomics of adaptation in birds
Organismal adaptations are the hallmark of natural selection. Studies of adaptations in avian
systems have been central to key conceptual and empirical advances in the field of …

Micro germline-restricted chromosome in blue tits: evidence for meiotic functions
The germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) is likely present in all songbird species but
differs widely in size and gene content. This extra chromosome has been described as …
