New paper in Genome Research on chromosome-level rattlesnake genome, dosage compensation, venom regulation, and chromosome evolution

Our new paper out in Genome Biology uses Hi-C contact data to assemble the first chromosome-level genome for a reptile, and uses this genome to study dosage compensation and sex chromosome evolution in snakes, nuclear interactions in vertebrates with microchromosomes, mechanisms that regulate snake venom genes, and the evolution of chromosome synteny in amniote vertebrates.
