Island-specific evolution of a sex-primed autosome in a sexual planarian

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Longhua Guo from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Island-specific evolution of a sex-primed autosome in a sexual planarian, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 15/09/2021
• what: The authors show that previously identified genomic regions that maintain heterozygosity even after prolonged inbreeding make up essentially all of chromosome 1. On the basis of these observations, the authors propose that chromosome 1 is a sex-primed autosome primed for evolution into a sex chromosome. The authors propose that early embryonic lethality leads to the loss of J/J and V/V adults . . .
