Grasshopper genome reveals long-term conservation of the X chromosome and temporal variation in X chromosome evolution
2022-09-30
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the grasshopper, <italic>Locusta migratoria</italic>, one of the largest insect genomes. We use coverage differences between females (XX) and males (X0) to identify the X chromosome gene content and find that the X chromosome shows both complete dosage compensation in somatic tissues and an underrepresentation of testes-expressed...
