Apes possess two sex chromosomes—the male-specific Y chromosome and the X
chromosome, which is present in both males and females. The Y chromosome is crucial for …

Highlights•T2T genomes are transforming our understanding of genome architecture and
evolution.•Population scale long read sequencing is identifying novel selective …

Sex chromosomes are a fundamental aspect of sex-biased biology, but the extent to which
homologous X–Y gene pairs ('the gametologs') contribute to sex-biased phenotypes …

Chondrichthyes is an important lineage to reconstruct the evolutionary history of vertebrates.
Here, we analyzed genome synteny for six chondrichthyan chromosome-level genomes …

Y chromosome markers can shed light on male-specific population dynamics but for many
species no such markers have been discovered and are available yet, despite the potential …

The large-scale human genome revolution and rapidly advanced statistical innovation have
updated our understanding of the fine-scale and complex genetic structure, the entire …

Hybridization and introgression are widespread in nature, with important implications for
adaptation and speciation. Since heterogametic hybrids often have lower fitness than …

Sex chromosomes fall into three classes: XX/XY, ZW/ZZ and U/V systems. The rise, evolution
and demise of U/V systems have remained enigmatic to date. Here, we analyze genomes …

Nomascus leucogenys is a critically endangered species of small apes. Here, we
sequenced and assembled the male genome of N. leucogenys, using PacBio and Hi-C …

Primates are highly successful mammals with significant morphological, behavioral, and
physiological diversity. Studying the genomes of non-human primates, as the closest relative …
