We review some recently published results on sex chromosomes in a diversity of species.
We focus on several fish and some plants whose sex chromosomes appear to be 'young', as …

There is a growing appreciation that chromosome inversions affect rates of adaptation,
speciation, and the evolution of sex chromosomes. Comparative genomic studies have …

Sex chromosomes differ from other chromosomes in the striking divergence they often show
in size, structure, and gene content. Not only do they possess genes controlling sex …

The sequencing of the 12 genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an
opportunity to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid …

Genetic changes contributing to phenotypic differences within or between species have
been identified for a handful of traits, but the relationship between alleles underlying …

We use forward and coalescent models of population genetics to study chromosome fusions
that reduce the recombination between two locally adapted loci. Under a continent–island …

Sequencing of pools of individuals (P ool‐S eq) represents a reliable and cost‐effective
approach for estimating genome‐wide SNP and transposable element insertion …

Chromosomal rearrangements (eg, inversions, fusions, and translocations) have long been
associated with environmental variation in wild populations. New genomic tools provide the …

The human sex chromosomes have stopped recombining gradually, which has left five
evolutionary strata on the X chromosome. Y inversions are thought to have suppressed X–Y …

Despite the commercial importance of Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides),
important gaps still persist in our knowledge of this species, including its reproductive …
