Evolution and regulation of animal sex chromosomes
Animal sex chromosomes typically carry the upstream sex-determining gene that triggers
testis or ovary development and, in some species, are regulated by global dosage …

Causes and Consequences of Varying Transposable Element Activity: An Evolutionary Perspective
Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasites found in nearly all eukaryotes,
including humans. This evolutionary success of TEs is due to their replicative activity …

The grasshopper genome reveals long-term gene content conservation of the X Chromosome and temporal variation in X Chromosome evolution
We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the grasshopper, Locusta
migratoria, one of the largest insect genomes. We use coverage differences between …
