  1. ...to investigate potential associations between the local recombination rate and different genomic features. Such information can be used to deduce the effects of recombination on base composition and/or regulatory mechanisms modulating the recombination landscape. A potential driver of an association between...
  2. ...a gnathostome-wide comparison of the syntenic location of one-to-one orthologs, including the zebra shark (Fig. 3B; Supplemental Fig. 3). A considerable proportion of the one-to-one orthologs are shared between eMAC and large chromosomes of chicken and spotted gar (Fig. 3B). The majority of the genomic regions...
  3. ...that the events of recombination cessation occurred independently in the two sister species. Our study shows that natural selection can repeatedly lead to similar genomic patterns and phenotypes, and that different evolutionary paths can lead to distinct yet equally beneficial responses to selection. Our study...
  4. ...be explained by variation in recombination rate and the density of targets for selection. We thus conclude that the heterogeneous landscape of differentiation in Ficedula flycatchers evolves mainly as the result of background selection and selective sweeps in genomic regions of low recombination. Our results...

Backstro¨m N, Forstmeier W, Schielzeth H, Mellenius H, Nam K, Bolund E, Webster MT, Schneider M, Kempenaers B, Ellegren H. 2010. The recombinational landscape of the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata .

  6. .... 2004) and between chicken and zebra finch (Backstro¨m et al. 2010), indicating that the distant shared ancestry of a genomic region is a poor predictor of contemporary recombination rates. In contrast, the comparison of genetic linkage maps among Nasonia species (Beukeboom et al. 2010) suggests...
  7. ...shaping genomic diversity and evolution. Yet, it is frequently constrained by constitutive heterochromatin, usually characterized by highly repetitive DNA. As a key feature of architecture associated with centromeric and subtelomeric regions, it locally influences meiotic recombination. In this study, we...
  8. ..., if shifts in GC content and genomic repeat landscapes are related in colubroid snakes (see also Pasquesi et al. 2018).Sex chromosome evolutionSnake sex chromosomes have evolved multiple times, apparently from different autosomal chromosomes (Gamble et al. 2017), and colubroid Z/W Chromosomes are homologous...
