--- _id: '15009' abstract: - lang: eng text: Since the commercialization of brine shrimp (genus Artemia) in the 1950s, this lineage, and in particular the model species Artemia franciscana, has been the subject of extensive research. However, our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying various aspects of their reproductive biology, including sex determination, is still lacking. This is partly due to the scarcity of genomic resources for Artemia species and crustaceans in general. Here, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of A. franciscana (Kellogg 1906), from the Great Salt Lake, United States. The genome is 1 GB, and the majority of the genome (81%) is scaffolded into 21 linkage groups using a previously published high-density linkage map. We performed coverage and FST analyses using male and female genomic and transcriptomic reads to quantify the extent of differentiation between the Z and W chromosomes. Additionally, we quantified the expression levels in male and female heads and gonads and found further evidence for dosage compensation in this species. article_number: evae006 article_processing_charge: Yes article_type: original author: - first_name: Vincent K full_name: Bett, Vincent K id: 57854184-AAE0-11E9-8D04-98D6E5697425 last_name: Bett - first_name: Ariana full_name: Macon, Ariana id: 2A0848E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Macon - first_name: Beatriz full_name: Vicoso, Beatriz id: 49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vicoso orcid: 0000-0002-4579-8306 - first_name: Marwan N full_name: Elkrewi, Marwan N id: 0B46FACA-A8E1-11E9-9BD3-79D1E5697425 last_name: Elkrewi orcid: 0000-0002-5328-7231 citation: ama: Bett VK, Macon A, Vicoso B, Elkrewi MN.

Interestingly, the X has undergone turnover in multiple fly species (Diptera) after being conserved for more than 450 MY. The long evolutionary distance between Diptera and other sequenced insect clades makes it difficult to infer what could have contributed to this sudden increase in rate of turnover. Here, we produce the first genome and transcriptome of a long overlooked sister-order to Diptera: Mecoptera. We compare the scorpionfly Panorpa cognata X-chromosome gene content, expression, and structure, to that of several dipteran species as well as more distantly-related insect orders (Orthoptera and Blattodea). We find high conservation of gene content between the mecopteran X and the dipteran Muller F element, as well as several shared biological features, such as the presence of dosage compensation and a low amount of genetic diversity, consistent with a low recombination rate. However, the two homologous X chromosomes differ strikingly in their size and number of genes they carry. Our results therefore support a common ancestry of the mecopteran and ancestral dipteran X chromosomes, and suggest that Muller element F shrank in size and gene content after the split of Diptera and Mecoptera, which may have contributed to its turnover in dipteran insects.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: "We thank the Vicoso lab for their assistance with specimen collection, and Tim Connallon for valuable comments and suggestions on earlier versions of the manuscript.

A largely non-recombining variant of the proximal region of chromosome 17, it is transmitted to more than 90% of the progeny of heterozygous males through the disabling of sperm carrying a standard chromosome. While extensive genetic and functional work has shed light on individual genes involved in drive, much less is known about the evolution and function of the rest of its hundreds of genes. Here, we characterize the sequence and expression of dozens of t-specific transcripts and of their chromosome 17 homologues. Many genes showed reduced expression of the t-allele, but an equal number of genes showed increased expression of their t-copy, consistent with increased activity or a newly evolved function. Genes on the t-haplotype had a significantly higher non-synonymous substitution rate than their homologues on the standard chromosome, with several genes harbouring dN/dS ratios above 1. Finally, the t-haplotype has acquired at least two genes from other chromosomes, which show high and tissue-specific expression. These results provide a first overview of the gene content of this selfish element, and support a more dynamic evolutionary scenario than expected of a large genomic region with almost no recombination. acknowledgement: "This project has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement no. 715257) and from the Swiss National Science Foundation (grant no. 310030_189145).\r\nWe thank Jari Garbely of the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland, for conducting the PCR verification.

Although they are known to have ZW chromosomes, these are not well characterized, and it is unclear whether they are shared across the clade. Furthermore, the underlying genetic architecture of the transmission of asexuality, which can occur when rare males mate with closely related sexual females, is not well understood. We produced a chromosome-level assembly for the sexual Eurasian species Artemia sinica and characterized in detail the pair of sex chromosomes of this species. We combined this new assembly with short-read genomic data for the sexual species Artemia sp. Kazakhstan and several asexual lineages of Artemia parthenogenetica, allowing us to perform an in-depth characterization of sex-chromosome evolution across the genus. We identified a small differentiated region of the ZW pair that is shared by all sexual and asexual lineages, supporting the shared ancestry of the sex chromosomes. We also inferred that recombination suppression has spread to larger sections of the chromosome independently in the American and Eurasian lineages. Finally, we took advantage of a rare male, which we backcrossed to sexual females, to explore the genetic basis of asexuality. Our results suggest that parthenogenesis is likely partly controlled by a locus on the Z chromosome, highlighting the interplay between sex determination and asexuality. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: "This work was supported by the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement no. 715257) and by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF SFB F88-10).\r\nWe thank the Vicoso group for comments on the manuscript and the ISTA Scientific computing team and the Vienna Biocenter Sequencing facility for technical support." article_number: iyac123 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Marwan N full_name: Elkrewi, Marwan N id: 0B46FACA-A8E1-11E9-9BD3-79D1E5697425 last_name: Elkrewi orcid: 0000-0002-5328-7231 - first_name: Uladzislava full_name: Khauratovich, Uladzislava id: 5eba06f4-97d8-11ed-9f8f-d826ebdd9434 last_name: Khauratovich - first_name: Melissa A full_name: Toups, Melissa A id: 4E099E4E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Toups orcid: 0000-0002-9752-7380 - first_name: Vincent K full_name: Bett, Vincent K id: 57854184-AAE0-11E9-8D04-98D6E5697425 last_name: Bett - first_name: Andrea full_name: Mrnjavac, Andrea id: 353FAC84-AE61-11E9-8BFC-00D3E5697425 last_name: Mrnjavac - first_name: Ariana full_name: Macon, Ariana id: 2A0848E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Macon - first_name: Christelle full_name: Fraisse, Christelle id: 32DF5794-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fraisse orcid: 0000-0001-8441-5075 - first_name: Luca full_name: Sax, Luca id: 701c5602-97d8-11ed-96b5-b52773c70189 last_name: Sax - first_name: Ann K full_name: Huylmans, Ann K id: 4C0A3874-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Huylmans orcid: 0000-0001-8871-4961 - first_name: Francisco full_name: Hontoria, Francisco last_name: Hontoria - first_name: Beatriz full_name: Vicoso, Beatriz id: 49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vicoso orcid: 0000-0002-4579-8306 citation: ama: Elkrewi MN, Khauratovich U, Toups MA, et al.

Different parts of their ZW sex chromosomes have stopped recombining in distinct lineages, creating “evolutionary strata” of various ages. Although the Z-chromosome is well characterized at the genomic and molecular level, the W-chromosome has remained largely unstudied from an evolutionary perspective, as only a few W-linked genes have been detected outside of the model species Schistosoma mansoni. Here, we characterize the gene content and evolution of the W-chromosomes of S. mansoni and of the divergent species S. japonicum. We use a combined RNA/DNA k-mer based pipeline to assemble around 100 candidate W-specific transcripts in each of the species. About half of them map to known protein coding genes, the majority homologous to S. mansoni Z-linked genes. We perform an extended analysis of the evolutionary strata present in the two species (including characterizing a previously undetected young stratum in S. japonicum) to infer patterns of sequence and expression evolution of W-linked genes at different time points after recombination was lost. W-linked genes show evidence of degeneration, including high rates of protein evolution and reduced expression. Most are found in young lineage-specific strata, with only a few high expression ancestral W-genes remaining, consistent with the progressive erosion of nonrecombining regions. Among these, the splicing factor u2af2 stands out as a promising candidate for primary sex determination, opening new avenues for understanding the molecular basis of the reproductive biology of this group. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: The authors thank IT support at IST Austria for providing an optimal environment for bioinformatic analyses.
