Genomic evidence reveals three W-autosome fusions in Heliconius butterflies
Sex chromosomes are evolutionarily labile in many animals and sometimes fuse with
autosomes, creating so-called neo-sex chromosomes. Fusions between sex chromosomes …

Neuropeptide evolution: Chelicerate neurohormone and neuropeptide genes may reflect one or more whole genome duplications
JA Veenstra - General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2016 - Elsevier
Four genomes and two transcriptomes from six Chelicerate species were analyzed for the
presence of neuropeptide and neurohormone precursors and their GPCRs. The genome …
