Identifying the causes and consequences of assembly gaps using a multiplatform genome assembly of a bird-of-paradise

Valentina Peona et al.

Summary: Genome assemblies are being produced rapidly with advances in sequencing technologies, but challenges in assembling repeat-rich and GC-rich regions limit insights into genome evolution. The most efficient approach involves a multiplatform assembly utilizing long-read, linked-read, and proximity sequencing technologies to minimize gaps and optimize completeness of both coding and noncoding parts of nonmodel genomes.

Dosage-sensitive functions in embryonic development drove the survival of genes on sex-specific chromosomes in snakes, birds, and mammals

Daniel W. Bellott et al.

Summary: Surviving genes on sex-specific chromosomes in snakes, birds, and mammals are enriched for dosage-sensitive developmental processes, particularly those related to neural crest-derived structures. Broad expression and dosage sensitivity independently contribute to gene survival, suggesting that pleiotropy plays a role in the evolution of dosage compensation. Maintaining viability of the heterogametic sex appears to have driven gene survival on amniote sex-specific chromosomes, with subtle modulation of survivor gene expression having disproportionate effects on development and disease.

A new emu genome illuminates the evolution of genome configuration and nuclear architecture of avian chromosomes

Jing Liu et al.

Summary: Emus and other ratites have slower genome evolution rates compared to other birds, making them useful for reconstructing ancestral avian or vertebrate karyotype evolution. The study's findings show that ratites have fewer intra and inter-chromosomal changes than other birds since diverging from turtles. The distinct structure of the emu W chromosome, with highly heterochromatic and recently evolved regions, suggests important early steps in sex chromosome evolution.

Towards complete and error-free genome assemblies of all vertebrate species

Arang Rhie et al.

Summary: The Vertebrate Genome Project and the international Genome 10K consortium have collaborated to generate high-quality genome assemblies for 16 species representing six major vertebrate lineages, leading to new biological discoveries. Long-read sequencing technologies are essential for maximizing genome quality, and addressing complex repeats and haplotype heterozygosity are crucial for reducing assembly errors and improving completeness of reference genomes. The lessons learned from this project have paved the way for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP), an international effort to generate high-quality, complete reference genomes for all known vertebrate species.
