Novel insights into chromosome evolution in birds, archosaurs, and reptiles
Journal Article
Farré, M., Narayan, J., Slavov, G. T., Damas, J., Auvil, L., Li, C., …Larkin, D. M. (in press). Novel insights into chromosome evolution in birds, archosaurs, and reptiles. Genome Biology and Evolution, 8(8), 2442-2451. https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evw166

Homologous synteny blocks (HSBs) and evolutionary breakpoint regions (EBRs) in mammalian chromosomes are enriched for distinct DNA features, contributing to distinct phenotypes. To reveal HSB and EBR roles in avian evolution, we performed a sequence-... Read More about Novel insights into chromosome evolution in birds, archosaurs, and reptiles.

G-Anchor: a novel approach for whole-genome comparative mapping utilising evolutionary conserved DNA sequences
Journal Article
Lenis, V. E., Swain, M., & Larkin, D. M. (in press). G-Anchor: a novel approach for whole-genome comparative mapping utilising evolutionary conserved DNA sequences. GigaScience, 7(5), https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giy017

Here we introduce G-Anchor, a new, fast, and efficient pipeline that uses a strictly limited but highly effective set of local sequence alignments to anchor (or map) an animal genome to another species’ reference genome. G-Anchor makes novel use of a... Read More about G-Anchor: a novel approach for whole-genome comparative mapping utilising evolutionary conserved DNA sequences.

Extreme heterogeneity in sex chromosome differentiation and dosage compensation in livebearers
Journal Article
Darolti, I., Wright, A. E., Sandkam, B. A., Morris, J., Bloch, N. I., Farré, M., …Mank, J. E. (in press). Extreme heterogeneity in sex chromosome differentiation and dosage compensation in livebearers. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1905298116

Morphologically and functionally distinct X and Y chromosomes have repeatedly evolved across the tree of life. However, the extent of differentiation between the sex chromosomes varies substantially across species. As sex chromosomes diverge, the Y c...
