Chromosome-scale genome assemblies of aphids reveal extensively rearranged autosomes and long-term conservation of the X chromosome
Chromosome rearrangements are arguably the most dramatic type of mutations, often
leading to rapid evolution and speciation. However, chromosome dynamics have only been …
