Liverwort sex chromosomes are much more diverse than previously thought. Huge PAR, small SDR in Blasia pusilla, and some ideas about the ancestral/derived nature of homomorphic vs. heteromorphic UV sex chromosomes. link.springer.com/article/10.1... @gpotente.bsky.social @uzh-ch.bsky.social

Now published in Cell! We found that ~15% of SNPs from divergent refs did not liftover as SNPs in the gray fox ref—half mapped to monomorphic sites, half failed to map. Co-authored with Matthew Genchev, @elliecat.bsky.social, and @jazlynmooney.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share that my first News & Views is out in @natgenet.nature.com! Together with Yuling Yue and @peterszovenyi.bsky.social, we highlight a landmark study presenting 100+ bryophyte genome assemblies and what they reveal about plant evolution. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

👋 Hi Bluesky! As a first post, I'm happy to share our new paper exploring what happens to sex chromosomes when a species transitions from separate sexes to cosexuality, using the liverwort Marchantia quadrata 🧬 Proud to share first authorship with Yukiko Yasui, with Péter Szövényi as senior author.
