Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

🎉 PAPER OUT ! Happy to see another chapter of my PhD out in #MBE ! The African pygmy mouse flips the script on sex determination. Its multiple sex and neo-sex chromosomes 🤯 shape brain transcriptomes and drive sexual polymorphism, reflecting new evolutionary trajectories for sex-linked regions.
Heitzmann et al. compared brain transcriptomes of four sexual genotypes of the African pygmy mouse, showing how sex and neo-sex chromosomes impacted transcriptomes to reflect their transmission mode, evolutionary trajectories, and genomic conflicts.
