Reptiles and mammals have differentially retained long conserved noncoding sequences from the amniote ancestorD E Janes
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Genome Biol Evol 3:102-13. 2011..These results show that the rate of retention of LCNS from the amniote ancestor differs between mammals and Reptilia (including birds) and that this may reflect differing roles and constraints in gene regulation...
Recombination and nucleotide diversity in the sex chromosomal pseudoautosomal region of the emu, Dromaius novaehollandiaeDANIEL E JANES
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
J Hered 100:125-36. 2009..This study provides a snapshot of the population genetics of avian sex chromosomes at an early stage of differentiation...
Variability in sex-determining mechanisms influences genome complexity in reptiliaD E Janes
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
Cytogenet Genome Res 127:242-8. 2009..In short, many aspects of amniote genome complexity, life history, and adaptive radiation appear contingent on evolutionary changes in sex-determining mechanisms...
Sex chromosome evolution in amniotes: applications for bacterial artificial chromosome librariesDANIEL E JANES
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
J Biomed Biotechnol 2011:132975. 2011..Here, we review studies of sex chromosome evolution in amniotes and the ways in which the field of research has been affected by the advent of BAC libraries...
The genome of the green anole lizard and a comparative analysis with birds and mammalsJessica Alföldi
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nature 477:587-91. 2011..Comparative gene analysis shows that amniote egg proteins have evolved significantly more rapidly than other proteins. An anole phylogeny resolves basal branches to illuminate the history of their repeated adaptive radiations...
Genome evolution in Reptilia, the sister group of mammalsDANIEL E JANES
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
Annu Rev Genomics Hum Genet 11:239-64. 2010..Reptilia exhibit a wide range of evolutionary rates of different subgenomes and, from isochores to mitochondrial DNA, provide a critical contrast to the genomic paradigms established in mammals...
Amniote phylogenomics: testing evolutionary hypotheses with BAC library scanning and targeted clone analysis of large-scale DNA sequences from reptilesAndrew M Shedlock
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
Methods Mol Biol 422:91-117. 2008..Taken together, the genome scanning and shotgun sequencing techniques offer complementary diagnostic potential and can substantially increase the scale and power of analyses aimed at testing evolutionary hypotheses for nonmodel species...
Genotypic sex determination enabled adaptive radiations of extinct marine reptilesChris L Organ
Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA
Nature 461:389-92. 2009....
Triploid plover female provides support for a role of the W chromosome in avian sex determinationClemens Küpper
Museum of Comparative Zoology, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
Biol Lett 8:787-9. 2012..These results imply that avian sex determination is more dynamic and complex than currently envisioned...
Characterization, chromosomal location, and genomic neighborhood of a ratite ortholog of a gene with gonadal expression in mammalsDANIEL E JANES
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA Comparative Genomics Group, Research School of Biological Sciences, Australian National University, PO Box 475, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia
Integr Comp Biol 48:505-11. 2008..Future experimentation will report the expression of SubA in ratites, other birds, and nonavian reptiles...

Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA, Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology, Iowa State University, 253 Bessey Hall, Ames, IA 50011, USA
Integr Comp Biol 48:447-53. 2008....
Evolution of sex chromosomes in SauropsidaChristopher L Organ
Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
Integr Comp Biol 48:512-9. 2008..Phylogenetic-based speciation tests do not support an association between GSD and speciation, and reject the hypothesis that the presence of the XY system is associated with speciation in reptiles...
