  1. ...the APGs. MHC-I genes exhibit lineage-specific duplications and signs of concerted evolution, resulting in poorly resolved phylogenies. In contrast, MHC-II genes are more conserved and exhibit extensive trans-species polymorphism. Expression and polymorphism patterns identify putative nonclassical MHC...
  2. ...of birds in order to test the hypothesis that emu and other ratites have the lowest lineage-specific chromosome evolution rate among birds, therefore best representing the ancestral avian configuration. We further compared the chromatin architectures between the emu macro- and microchromosomes, and between...
  3. ...-occurred with evolution toward herbivory. The ancestral mammalian diet was insectivorous (Gill et al. 2014) and would be treated as completely carnivorous in our study. Thus, less carnivorous diets represent derived states that are likely associated with great molecular and phenotypic change as entirely new dietary...
  4. ...and chromosome numbers (Montiel et al. 2016), namely, the Spiny Softshell Turtle Apalone spinifera (ZZ/ZW, 2n = 66) (Badenhorst et al. 2013) and the Northern Giant Musk Turtle Staurotypus triporcatus (XX/XY, 2n = 54) (Sites et al. 1979). To illuminate amniote evolution, we not only test for changes to the linear...
  5. ...Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, Inuyama, Aichi 484-8506, Japan New genes contribute substantially to adaptive evolutionary innovation, but the functional evolution of new mammalian genes has been little explored at a broad scale. Previous work...
  6. ...a broader conservation across the class, with the exception of the Lepidoptera (Pease and Hahn 2012).Previous work has documented convergent gene content on the mammalian Y, avian W, and snake W Chromosomes (Bellott and Page 2021) and convergent evolution of mammalian X and avian Z Chromosome gene content...
  7. ...substantially increased and brings the porcine X closer in gene content to other well-sequenced mammalian X Chromosomes (e.g., human and mouse). Skinner et al. 132 Genome Research www..org identifying those pig homologs present. Many of the ancestral Xrelated genes previously reported in other mammalian Y...
  8. ...-specific functions during more recent mammalian evolution. Lineage-specific and young duplications also contained higher than expected proportions of genes specifically expressed in the liver (Fig. 4B,C; Supplemental Figs. S7, S8). However, in contrast to the testis, liver-specific genes tend to be highly expressed...
  9. ...Tables S1–S6; Supplemental Methods). Previous reconstructions of caenophidian sex chromosome evolution used lizard Chromosome 6 as a proxy for the ancestral autosomes and identified 1135 ancestral Z genes (Vicoso et al. 2013a; Yin et al. 2016). We began our search for ancestral Z-linked genes...
  10. ...(Rozen et al. 2003; Graves 2010). Even when the Y is targeted, its unusual highly repetitive structure makes it the most challenging mammalian chromosome to sequence and assemble. Indeed, although the X has largely retained the ancestral autosomal structure and gene content (Graves 2010), the Y has...
