Smith, Musilova & @astridboehne@bsky.social find new sex chromosomes in a group of cichlids from Lake Tanganyika and show that while these involve the same chromosome pairs, the sex chromosomes evolved independently. 🔗 academic.oup.com/gbe/article/... #societyjournal #genome #evolution
GBE | Same Sex Chromosomes With Independent Origins in Haplochromine Cichlids

Known sex chromosomes, and sex-linked regions thereof, of African haplochromine cichlid fishes, relative to the genome of Astatotilapia calliptera (bottom-left illustration). While there is great diversity of sex chromosomes and regions of sex linkage across this clade, LG5 and LG7 frequently reappear as sex-linked, particularly within the Lake Tanganyika-specific tribe of haplochromines, the Tropheini. Sex-linked regions on LG5 and LG7 are shown, highlighted in blue for XY systems and orange for ZW systems. In species in which sex-linkage is not known, this is marked with ‘?’. Other known sex chromosomes are listed on the right. Species included in this study are marked in bold. Proposed origins of different sex determination systems or genes are shown with yellow arrows on tree branches, while losses are shown with black arrows.
