This project investigates the evolution of sex chromosomes in robber frogs, focusing on unconventional mechanisms of recombination arrest and the dynamics of sex-determination systems. It aims to uncover the genomic features and transitions associated with early-stage sex chromosomes in various frog species.
In sharp contrast to model organisms with degenerated Y/W chromosomes, many reptiles, fish and amphibians have mostly undifferentiated sex chromosomes and exhibit dynamics of birth and death of sex chromosomes.
Why and how early-stage sex chromosomes and frequent turnovers are so prevalent across eukaryotes remain mysterious.
This also raises pressing questions on alternative mechanisms leading to sex chromosome recombination arrest, their dynamics and stability.
Frogs are ideal systems because…
