Y recombination arrest and degeneration in the absence of sexual dimorphism

Thomas Lenormand et al.

Summary: The current theory suggests that degenerated sex chromosomes, such as the mammalian Y chromosome, evolve through three steps: recombination arrest, Y degeneration, and dosage compensation. Our study shows that early emergence of dosage compensation helps maintain Y-linked inversions, while the degeneration of these inversions is caused by regulatory divergence between the X and Y chromosomes. Contrary to current theory, this process occurs without selective pressure related to sexual dimorphism.

Chromosome-level assembly reveals a putative Y-autosomal fusion in the sex determination system of the Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides)

Anne-Laure Ferchaud et al.

Summary: A chromosome-level reference genome for Greenland Halibut was successfully assembled using single-molecule sequencing and chromatin conformation capture sequencing data. The study revealed that Greenland Halibut possesses a male heterogametic XY system for sex determination, similar to other teleost fishes, and identified several candidate genes potentially involved in this process. Additionally, the study suggested a putative Y-autosomal fusion may be associated with reduced recombination during the early steps of sex chromosome evolution in flatfishes.

Consequences of partially recessive deleterious genetic variation for the evolution of inversions suppressing recombination between sex chromosomes (Publication with Expression of Concern. See JUN, 2023)

Colin Olito et al.

Summary: The evolution of suppressed recombination between sex chromosomes is influenced by beneficial mutations, with small inversions eventually becoming harmful. Factors such as inversion size, mutation rate, and the dominance coefficient of deleterious mutations play a key role in the evolutionary process. The results suggest that deleterious genetic variation can drive recombination suppression in small steps.

Mutation load at a mimicry supergene sheds new light on the evolution of inversion polymorphisms

Paul Jay et al.

Summary: Chromosomal inversions are common in genomes and can coordinate complex phenotypes, but they accumulate harmful mutations which lead to frequency-dependent selection and hinder their replacement of ancestral chromosome arrangements. This study suggests that complex polymorphisms may evolve due to the intrinsic tendency of chromosomal rearrangements to carry recessive harmful mutations.

Recombination suppression and evolutionary strata around mating-type loci in fungi: documenting patterns and understanding evolutionary and mechanistic causes

Fanny E. Hartmann et al.

Summary: Genomic regions determining sexual compatibility often display recombination suppression, which can extend beyond the genes determining sexes or mating types, maintaining the multiallelic combinations required for correct compatibility determination. Recent evidence shows expansions of recombination suppression beyond mating-type genes in fungi, which have been little studied and may be more pervasive than commonly thought. The study of recombination suppression in fungi could contribute to our understanding of recombination suppression expansion across a broader range of organisms.

Enhanced heterozygosity from male meiotic chromosome chains is superseded by hybrid female asexuality in termites

Toshihisa Yashiro et al.

Summary: The study found that in some animals, males play important roles beyond providing gametes, which may prevent the evolution of obligate asexuality. Male termites promote genetic heterozygosity within populations through sex-linked chromosomes, while some asexual termite populations, generated through intraspecific hybridization, exhibit higher heterozygosity compared to sexual populations and have replaced them in some areas.

Emergence and diversification of a highly invasive chestnut pathogen lineage across southeastern Europe

Lea Stauber et al.

Summary: The invasive chestnut blight fungus in southeastern Europe emerged from a highly diverse European genotype pool, rather than from a secondary introduction from Asia or North America. The invasion process was mainly clonal and dominated by a single mating type, indicating a fitness advantage of asexual reproduction.

A neutral model for the loss of recombination on sex chromosomes

Daniel L. Jeffries et al.

Summary: The loss of recombination on sex chromosomes may be due to the neutral accumulation of sequence divergence adjacent to the sex determiner. This phenomenon shows certain patterns in natural systems and is influenced by the pre-existing recombination landscape of the genome and sex differences in recombination rates.

Genomic structural variants constrain and facilitate adaptation in natural populations of Theobroma cacao, the chocolate tree

Tuomas Hamala et al.

Summary: The study uses 31 chromosome-scale, haplotype-resolved genome assemblies of Theobroma cacao to investigate the fitness consequences of structural variants (SVs) in natural populations. It reveals that the majority of SVs are deleterious, influencing gene expression and likely impairing gene function. Despite the overall detrimental effects, individual SVs bearing signatures of local adaptation are identified, some of which are associated with differentially expressed genes between populations, particularly those involved in pathogen resistance.

Gene-rich UV sex chromosomes harbor conserved regulators of sexual development

Sarah B. Carey et al.

Summary: While UV sex chromosomes in bryophytes exhibit weaker purifying selection compared to autosomes, suppressed recombination alone is not sufficient to drive degeneration. The U and V sex chromosomes contain thousands of broadly expressed genes, including numerous key regulators of sexual development across land plants.
