Evidence for Transcription and Horizontal Gene Transfer in Dipteran Germline-Restricted Chromosomes

2025-12-15

Abstract excerpt

Germline-restricted chromosomes (GRCs) constitute a unique class of chromosomes confined to reproductive cells. Arising across multiple evolutionarily distant lineages, GRCs have been identified in three insect families (non-biting midges, gall midges, and fungus gnats), each within the order Diptera. Genomic characterisation in fungus gnats has revealed GRCs to be large, gene-rich chromosomes, which, together wit...
