Abstract: Closely related muntjac deer show striking karyotype differences. Here we describe chromosome-scale genome assemblies for Chinese and Indian muntjacs, Muntiacus reevesi (2 n = 46) and Muntiacus muntjak vaginalis (2 n = 6/7), and analyze their evolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac221
Abstract: Karyotype refers to the configuration of the genome into a set of chromosomes. The karyotype difference between species is expected to impede various biological processes, such as chromosome segregation or meiotic chromosome pairing, potentially contributing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.00320
Abstract: Allioideae (e.g., chives, garlics, onions) comprises three mainly temperate tribes: Allieae (800 species from the northern hemisphere), Gilliesieae (80 South American species), and Tulbaghieae (26 Southern African species). We reconstructed the phylogeny of Allioideae (190… read more here.
