DNA Res
. 2024 Oct;
31(6).
PMID: 39460673
Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are abundant components of eukaryotic genomes, playing pivotal roles in chromosomal organization, genome stability, and evolution. Here, we combined cytogenetic and genomic methods to characterize the satDNAs...

. 2024 Jul;
15(1):5984.
PMID: 39013946
Houseflies provide a good experimental model to study the initial evolutionary stages of a primary sex-determining locus because they possess different recently evolved proto-Y chromosomes that contain male-determining loci (M)...

Sci Adv
. 2024 May;
10(18):eadj6979.
PMID: 38701204
Nature has devised many ways of producing males and females. Here, we report on a previously undescribed mechanism for Lepidoptera that functions without a female-specific gene. The number of alleles...

. 2023 Oct;

PMID: 37870409
The cytogenetics of Acanthocephala is a neglected area in the study of this group of endoparasites. Chromosome number and/or karyotypes are known for only 12 of the 1,270 described species,...

PMID: 37758733
Genetic sexing strains (GSS), such as the Ceratitis capitata (medfly) VIENNA 8 strain, facilitate male-only releases and improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of sterile insect technique (SIT) applications. Laboratory domestication...

. 2023 Aug;
24(1):443.
PMID: 37550607
Background: Morphological and traditional genetic studies of the young Pliocene genus Hyles have led to the understanding that despite its importance for taxonomy, phenotypic similarity of wing patterns does not...

. 2023 Aug;

PMID: 37536576
The molecular mechanisms of sex determination in moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) with female heterogamety (WZ/ZZ) are poorly understood, except in the silkworm Bombyx mori. However, the Masculinizer (Masc) gene that...

Genetics
. 2023 Feb;
224(1).
PMID: 36794642
Moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) have sex chromosome systems with female heterogamety, and 2 models, W-dominance and Z-counting, have been proposed to determine sex. The W-dominant mechanism is well known in...

Sci Rep
. 2023 Jan;
13(1):534.
PMID: 36631492
The W chromosome of Lepidoptera is typically gene-poor, repeat-rich and composed of heterochromatin. Pioneering studies investigating this chromosome reported an abundance of mobile elements. However, the actual composition of the...
