Phyllodactylidae RADseq Reptile Squamata Using sex-specific RAD markers to identify a species' sex chromosomes typically requires additional genomic resources because determining chromosomal synteny involves comparing gene identity and order among species. Although most RAD markers map to noncoding...

This enables the identification of chromosome rearrangements occurring during evolution and allows the construction...

...T. Ezaz; S.D. Sarre; D. O’Meally; J.A. Marshall Graves; A. Georges Reptiles epitomize the variability of reproductive and sex determining modes and mechanisms among amniotes. These modes include gonochorism (separate sexes) and parthenogenesis, oviparity, viviparity, and ovoviviparity, genotypic...
