Nuclear three dimensional (3D) folding of chromatin structure has been linked to gene
expression regulation and correct developmental programs, but little is known about the 3D …

Y chromosomes are thought to undergo progressive degeneration due to stepwise loss of
recombination and subsequent reduction in selection efficiency. However, the timescales …

Sex chromosomes follow distinct evolutionary trajectories compared to the rest of the
genome. In many cases, sex chromosomes (X and Y, or Z and W) significantly differentiate …

Speciation is the process leading to the emergence of new species. While being usually
progressive, it can sometimes be fast with rapid emergence of reproductive barriers leading …

Introduction Plants undergo various natural changes that dramatically modify their genomes.
One is polyploidization and the second is hybridization. Both are regarded as key factors in …

Progressive recombination loss is a common feature of sex chromosomes. Yet, the
evolutionary drivers of this phenomenon remain a mystery. For decades, differences in trait …
