The Genome 10K Project was established in 2009 by a consortium of biologists and
genome scientists determined to facilitate the sequencing and analysis of the complete …

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

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

The canonical model of sex-chromosome evolution predicts that, as recombination is
suppressed along sex chromosomes, gametologs will progressively differentiate, eventually …

Genetic sex determination by W and Z chromosomes has developed independently in
different groups of organisms. To better understand the evolution of sex chromosomes and …

Sex chromosomes harbour a primary sex-determining signal that triggers sexual
development of the organism. However, diverse sex chromosome systems have been …

Sex chromosomes have evolved many times in animals and studying these replicate
evolutionary “experiments” can help broaden our understanding of the general forces …

Differentiated sex chromosomes in mammals and other vertebrates evolved independently
but in strikingly similar ways. Vertebrates with differentiated sex chromosomes share the …

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 are a great example of a convergent evolution at the genomic level,
having evolved dozens of times just within amniotes. An intriguing question is whether this …
