Genomics
Researchers at the University of Munster have made a significant contribution to the field of genome biology and evolution with their recent study on de novo gene emergence. By investigating the mechanisms and methods of detecting de novo genes, the team's findings shed light on the complexity and
Chromosomes
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the evolutionary processes that lead to sex chromosome degeneration and the development of dosage compensation. The study, published in Genome Biology and Evolution, reveals that the lack of recombination in the heterogametic sex between parts or all

Researchers from the Guangxi Institute of Botany conducted a study on the evolution of the Cissampelideae tribe, a group of pantropical lianas with rich fossil records. The study aimed to understand the role of fossils in inferring evolutionary patterns of morphological characters. By reconstructing a dated phylogeny for 39 extant

Researchers at the University of Georgia have successfully mapped the genome of the hemlock woolly adelgid, a devastating insect pest that has been decimating Eastern hemlock trees across North America. The assembly, comprising 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules and 132 unplaced scaffolds, covers a total length of 216.56 Mb and is

Genetic research
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tubingen, Germany, have conducted a comprehensive study on the structure, gene composition, and evolutionary history of sex chromosomes in four Gracilaria species. This understudied topic has significant implications for understanding the evolution of sex determination across eukaryotes. The study, published in
Genetic research
Recent research by the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC-CNS) has made significant strides in understanding the gene flow during eukaryogenesis. By developing a novel simulation framework, the researchers assessed the impact of unsampled lineages on the inference of gene acquisition events. The study found that a substantial majority of gene acquisitions
