Grasshopper genome reveals long-term conservation of the X chromosome and temporal variation in X chromosome evolution

2022-09-09

Abstract excerpt

We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the grasshopper, Locusta migratoria , 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 genes. Remarkably, X-linked gene content f...
