--- _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.

Here, we use allele-specific gene expression of parental and reciprocal hybrid crosses between 6 Drosophila\r\nmelanogaster inbred lines to quantify cis- and trans-regulatory variation in heads and gonads of both sexes separately across 3 replicate\r\ncrosses. Our results suggest that female and male heads, as well as ovaries, have a similar regulatory architecture. On the other hand,\r\ntestes display more and substantially different cis-regulatory effects, suggesting that sex differences in the regulatory architecture that\r\nhave been previously observed may largely derive from testis-specific effects. We also examine the difference in cis-regulatory variation\r\nof genes across different levels of sex bias in gonads and heads. Consistent with the idea that intersex correlations constrain expression\r\nand can lead to sexual antagonism, we find more cis variation in unbiased and moderately biased genes in heads. In ovaries, reduced cis\r\nvariation is observed for male-biased genes, suggesting that cis variants acting on these genes in males do not lead to changes in ovary\r\nexpression. Finally, we examine the dominance patterns of gene expression and find that sex- and tissue-specific patterns of inheritance\r\nas well as trans-regulatory variation are highly variable across biological crosses, although these were performed in highly controlled\r\nexperimental conditions. This highlights the importance of using various genetic backgrounds to infer generalizable patterns." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: We thank members of the Vicoso Group for comments on the manuscript, the Scientific Computing Unit at ISTA for technical support, and 2 anonymous reviewers for useful feedback.

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.

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.

Despite extensive research on the evolution of sex, it is still unclear whether this switch represents a major transition requiring major molecular reorganization, and how convergent the changes involved are. In this study, we investigated the phylogenetic relationship and patterns of gene expression of sexual and asexual lineages of Eurasian Artemia brine shrimp, to assess how gene expression patterns are affected by the transition to asexuality. We find only a few genes that are consistently associated with the evolution of asexuality, suggesting that this shift may not require an extensive overhauling of the meiotic machinery. While genes with sex-biased expression have high rates of expression divergence within Eurasian Artemia, neither female- nor male-biased genes appear to show unusual evolutionary patterns after sexuality is lost, contrary to theoretical expectations. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: We thank the Vicoso laboratory, Thomas Lenormand and Tanja Schwander for helpful discussions, the group of Gonzalo Gajardo, especially Cristian Gallardo-Escárate and Margarita Parraguez Donoso, for sequencing data and advice, and the IST Scientific Computing Group for their support.

Sex is determined by a pair of ZW chromosomes, but the nature and extent of differentiation of these chromosomes is unknown. Here, we characterize the Z chromosome by detecting genomic regions that show lower genomic coverage in female than in male samples, and regions that harbor an excess of female-specific SNPs. We detect many Z-specific genes, which no longer have homologs on the W, but also Z-linked genes that appear to have diverged very recently from their existing W-linked homolog. We assess patterns of male and female expression in two tissues with extensive morphological dimorphism, gonads, and heads. In agreement with their morphology, sex-biased expression is common in both tissues. Interestingly, the Z chromosome is not enriched for sex-biased genes, and seems to in fact have a mechanism of dosage compensation that leads to equal expression in males and in females. Both of these patterns are contrary to most ZW systems studied so far, making A. franciscana an excellent model for investigating the interplay between the evolution of sexual dimorphism and dosage compensation, as well as Z chromosome evolution in general. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp article_processing_charge: No author: - 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: Melissa A full_name: Toups, Melissa A id: 4E099E4E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Toups orcid: 0000-0002-9752-7380 - first_name: Ariana full_name: Macon, Ariana id: 2A0848E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Macon - first_name: William J full_name: Gammerdinger, William J id: 3A7E01BC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gammerdinger orcid: 0000-0001-9638-1220 - first_name: Beatriz full_name: Vicoso, Beatriz id: 49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vicoso orcid: 0000-0002-4579-8306 citation: ama: Huylmans AK, Toups MA, Macon A, Gammerdinger WJ, Vicoso B.

In the ZW Lepidoptera, some species show complete compensation of the Z chromosome, while others lack full equalization, but what drives these inconsistencies is unclear. Here, we compare patterns of male and female gene expression on the Z chromosome of two closely related butterfly species, Papilio xuthus and Papilio machaon, and in multiple tissues of two moths species, Plodia interpunctella and Bombyx mori, which were previously found to differ in the extent to which they equalize Z-linked gene expression between the sexes. We find that, while some species and tissues seem to have incomplete dosage compensation, this is in fact due to the accumulation of male-biased genes and the depletion of female-biased genes on the Z chromosome. Once this is accounted for, the Z chromosome is fully compensated in all four species, through the up-regulation of Z expression in females and in some cases additional down-regulation in males. We further find that both sex-biased genes and Z-linked genes have increased rates of expression divergence in this clade, and that this can lead to fast shifts in patterns of gene expression even between closely related species. Taken together, these results show that the uneven distribution of sex-biased genes on sex chromosomes can confound conclusions about dosage compensation and that Z chromosome-wide dosage compensation is not only possible but ubiquitous among Lepidoptera. article_processing_charge: Yes (in subscription journal) author: - 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: 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 citation: ama: Huylmans AK, Macon A, Vicoso B.
