Host-symbiont-gene phylogenetic reconciliation by Menet, Hugo, Trung, Alexia Nguyen, Daubin, Vincent, Tannier, Eric

“…It handles the possibility of ghost lineages as well as temporary free-living symbionts. Given three phylogenetic trees, we devise a Monte Carlo algorithm which samples evolutionary scenarios of symbionts and genes according to an approximation of their likelihood in the model. …”

Chromosome-scale scaffolds of the fungus gnat genome reveal multi-Mb-scale chromosome-folding interactions, centromeric enrichments of retrotransposons, and candidate telomere sequ... by John M. Urban, Susan A. Gerbi, Allan C. Spradling

“…Paternal chromosomes are eliminated during male meiosis I and both maternal X sister chromatids are retained in male meiosis II. Embryos start with three copies of the X chromosome, but 1–2 copies are eliminated from somatic cells as part of sex determination, and one is eliminated in the germline to restore diploidy. …”
