Abstract Telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblies reveal new insights into the structure and
function of the previously 'invisible'parts of the genome and allow comparative analyses of …

Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) have been known since almost the beginning of
genetics. While an important role for CRs in speciation has been suggested, evidence …

Decrypting the rearrangements that drive mammalian chromosome evolution is critical to
understanding the molecular bases of speciation, adaptation, and disease susceptibility …

Animal and plant species around the world are being challenged by the deleterious effects
of inbreeding, loss of genetic diversity, and maladaptation due to widespread habitat …

Research on the genomic architecture of speciation has increasingly revealed the
importance of structural variants (SVs) that affect the presence, abundance, position, and/or …

Chromosome rearrangements are thought to promote reproductive isolation between
incipient species. However, it is unclear how often, and under what conditions, fission and …

Changes in chromosome numbers may strongly affect reproductive barriers, because
individuals heterozygous for distinct karyotypes are typically expected to be at least partially …

A key action of the new Global Biodiversity Framework is the maintenance of genetic
diversity in all species to safeguard their adaptive potential. To achieve this goal, a …

The study of chromosome evolution is undergoing a resurgence of interest owing to
advances in DNA sequencing technology that facilitate the production of chromosome-scale …

Chromosomal rearrangements trigger speciation by acting as barriers to gene flow.
However, the underlying theory was developed with monocentric chromosomes in mind …
