Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

Genomic analysis of many nonmodel species has uncovered an incredible diversity of sex
chromosome systems, making it possible to empirically test the rich body of evolutionary …

Contrary to classic theory prediction, sex-chromosome homomorphy is prevalent in the
animal kingdom but it is unclear how ancient homomorphic sex chromosomes avoid …

Despite decades of cytogenetic and genomic research of dynamic sex chromosome
evolution in teleost fishes, multiple sex chromosomes have been largely neglected. In this …

Supergenes are genomic regions containing sets of tightly linked loci that control multi-trait
phenotypic polymorphisms under balancing selection. Recent advances in genomics have …

Dioecy, the presence of separate sexes on distinct individuals, has evolved repeatedly in
multiple plant lineages. However, the specific mechanisms by which sex systems evolve and …

Background Salicaceae species have diverse sex determination systems and frequent sex
chromosome turnovers. However, compared with poplars, the diversity of sex determination …

The brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens, white‐backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera,
and small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus are three major insect pests of rice …

Cannabis sativa–derived tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) production is increasing very fast
worldwide. C. sativa is a dioecious plant with XY Chromosomes, and only females (XX) are …

Sex chromosomes are widespread in species with separate sexes. They have evolved many
times independently and display a truly remarkable diversity. New sequencing technologies …
