New research: With ancient origins & surprising flexibility, #BrownAlgae reveal a compelling story of sex chromosome evolution. This could rewrite how we view sex determination. Learn more: s.gwdg.de/YDoZ3L
Congrats to @agalip.bsky.social & Josue Barrera for their work in @natecoevo.nature.com

Genomes of brown algae with different sex determination systems show that U/V sex chromosomes evolved 450–224 million years ago and show remarkable conservation of genes within the sex-determining region, despite independent expansions of the sex locus in each lineage

Great to see our work on AB-polarity in kelp online and the hard work of the last 3 years by some young scientists valorized! 🌿🔬

Big shoutout to Eloise Dries, Yannick Meyers, Floriele Gonzaga, and Jakob Becker and all involved. It was a pleasure! 🙌
