Widespread Recombination Suppression Facilitates Plant Sex Chromosome Evolution

Joanna L. Rifkin et al.

Summary: The study suggests that low recombination rates may precede the formation of sex-linked regions, with large regions of recombination suppression found across all chromosomes. Additionally, gene and repetitive sequence density are correlated with recombination rates, with the variation patterns differing by repetitive element type.

High-quality chromosome-level genomes of two tilapia species reveal their evolution of repeat sequences and sex chromosomes

Wenjing Tao et al.

Summary: Researchers have reported the newly produced genomes of Nile tilapia and blue tilapia, providing detailed insights into their sex chromosome turnover mechanisms and sex-determining pathways, which are crucial for the development of genetic sex control in aquaculture. The study suggests that unequal distribution of repeat content may impact the local recombination rate, making some chromosomes more likely to become sex chromosomes.

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.

Liftoff: accurate mapping of gene annotations

Alaina Shumate et al.

Summary: Advancements in DNA sequencing and computational methods have led to a significant increase in high-quality genome assemblies for many species. To annotate gene features in these genomes, a common strategy is to map genes from a previously annotated reference genome to new or improved assemblies. The tool Liftoff can accurately map genes between the same or closely related species, ensuring high sequence identity and preserving gene structure.

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.

Origin of a Giant Sex Chromosome

Matthew A. Conte et al.

Summary: This study investigates the evolution of a giant sex chromosome in cichlid fish, finding that it consists of three distinct regions and contains unprecedented amounts of endogenous retroviral elements, immunoglobulin genes, and long non-coding RNAs. Comparative analysis across 69 teleost genomes supports the hypothesis that the giant sex chromosome originated from the fusion of a B chromosome.

Chromosome-scale, haplotype-resolved assembly of human genomes

Shilpa Garg et al.

Summary: The DipAsm method utilizes long, accurate reads and long-range conformation data to generate chromosome-scale phased assembly for single individuals within a day, demonstrating superior performance in both contiguity and phasing completeness compared to other approaches. DipAsm is crucial for the discovery of structural variants and highly polymorphic and medically important regions, facilitating high-quality precision medicine and studies of individual haplotype variation and population diversity.

A high-quality de novo genome assembly of one swamp eel (Monopterus albus) strain with PacBio and Hi-C sequencing data

Hai-Feng Tian et al.

Summary: In this study, the genome of the swamp eel was assembled using PacBio single-molecule sequencing and Hi-C technologies, resulting in a high-quality, chromosome-level reference genome. Phylogenetic analysis based on annotated protein-coding genes revealed the evolutionary relationships of the swamp eel with other teleosts, as well as the expansion of gene families in immune system, sensory system, and transport and catabolism. The accurate genome will be valuable for future genome-scale selective breeding efforts.

Chromosome-scale assembly of the genome of Salix dunnii reveals a male-heterogametic sex determination system on chromosome 7

Li He et al.

Summary: The study presents the assembly and analysis of the first chromosome-scale genome of a female willow tree, revealing the evolution of male heterogamety in the Salix genus and identifying a sex-determining factor on chromosome 7. The sex-linked region on chromosome 7 in female willows, corresponding to the X chromosome, is enriched with transposable element insertions and protein-coding genes gained through duplications. Analysis of transcriptome data shows male-biased genes in catkin and leaf tissues, with enrichment in the pseudo-autosomal regions.

The structure, function and evolution of a complete human chromosome 8

Glennis A. Logsdon et al.

Summary: The study completed the linear assembly of human chromosome 8 using long-read sequencing technologies, resolving five long-standing gaps, including regions important for disease risk. The research revealed that the centromeric alpha-satellite sequence is generally methylated, and conducted comparative analysis of centromeres in chimpanzee, orangutan and macaque. The study estimates that the mutation rate of centromeric satellite DNA is accelerated compared to unique portions of the genome.

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.
