Sex chromosome evolution is among the most dynamic genomic innovations in vertebrates, yet why some lineages evolve XY while others evolve ZW remains unclear. Using chromosome-level genomes from 19 ge...

Abstract. In most animal species, the sex-determining pathway is typically initiated by the presence/absence of a primary genetic cue at a critical point d

The Open Consortium of Squamate Genomics (OCSG) is a new global initiative (2024) with an overarching goal of increasing both quality and quantity of lizard and snake genomic resources, as well as inc...

Some human social constructs like gender are viewed erroneously in an evolutionary context. It’s time for our understanding of a person’s self-identity to evolve.

Abstract. Genome size varies greatly across the tree of life and transposable elements are an important contributor to this variation. Among vertebrates, a
