Genome Evolution and the Future of Phylogenomics of Non-Avian Reptiles

Daren C. Card et al.

Summary: Non-avian reptiles, especially squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes), have become the most species-rich group among tetrapods, surpassing birds. However, genomic resources in non-avian reptiles have been accumulating at a slower pace compared to mammals and birds. This review highlights the importance of studying the natural history, physical traits, genomic characteristics, and sequence compositional patterns of non-avian reptiles, as well as the need for high-quality genomic resources and methods to extract different markers from genome assemblies. The development of a comprehensive phylogenomic tree of life for non-avian reptiles and amniotes will contribute to a better understanding of biodiversity.

Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly Reveals Dynamic Sex Chromosomes in Neotropical Leaf-Litter Geckos (Sphaerodactylidae: Sphaerodactylus)

Brendan J. Pinto et al.

Summary: Sex determination is a critical aspect of vertebrate development, and the stability of sex chromosome systems across different lineages is of evolutionary importance. While mammals and birds have conserved sex chromosome systems, reptiles such as gecko lizards have undergone frequent sex chromosome transitions, making their phylogenetic understanding incomplete. In this study, researchers assembled a chromosome-level genome for a gecko species and used various genomic techniques to investigate sex chromosomes in closely related species. The results revealed multiple sex chromosome transitions and identified previously unknown sex chromosome systems. This study highlights the flexibility of sex chromosome evolution in gecko lizards and adds to our understanding of the evolutionary processes involved.

Haplotype-resolved assembly of diploid genomes without parental data

Haoyu Cheng et al.

Summary: This paper presents an algorithm that combines PacBio HiFi reads and Hi-C chromatin interaction data to achieve haplotype-resolved genome assembly from single samples without the need for parent sequencing. The algorithm outperforms existing single-sample assembly pipelines and produces assemblies of similar quality to the best pedigree-based assemblies when applied to human and other vertebrate samples.

Gfastats: conversion, evaluation and manipulation of genome sequences using assembly graphs

Giulio Formenti et al.

Summary: In this study, gfastats, a tool for computing assembly summary statistics and manipulating assembly sequences, was developed. This tool stores assembly sequences internally in a GFA-like format, allowing seamless conversion between different formats. Additionally, gfastats can build an assembly graph for manipulating underlying sequences and generating key metrics.

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.

Extensive introgression and mosaic genomes of Mediterranean endemic lizards

Weizhao Yang et al.

Summary: The Mediterranean wall lizards have a complex evolutionary history, featuring early separation into distinct clades and a period of diversification around 6.5-4.0 MYA. Genetic exchange has been a pervasive feature, leading to mosaic genomes and resulting in the rise of several endemic species.

Fossil-calibrated time tree of Podarcis wall lizards provides limited support for biogeographic calibration models

Daniele Salvi et al.

Summary: Podarcis wall lizards are endemic to the Mediterranean Basin, with their diversification occurring rapidly during the Middle Miocene, associated with European climate changes and geological history. Multiple dispersal and vicariant events at different time frames are needed to explain current allopatric distributions and Mediterranean biota assembly, cautioning against biogeographic calibrations based on the assumption of vicariance.
