The architecture underpinning genomic divergence is still a largely uncharted territory and likely case‐dependent. Here, we investigated genome‐wide variation in Ballan wrasse, a northeastern Atlantic fish species that displays two sympatric colour morphs, spotty and plain, that have been suggested to represent subspecies. We produced a chromosome‐level reference genome and thereafter investigated genomic divergence among 152...

The early evolution of sex chromosomes has remained obscure for more than a century. The Vandiemenella viatica species group of morabine grasshoppers is highly suited for studying the early stages of sex chromosome divergence and degeneration of the Y chromosome. This stems from the fact that neo‐XY sex chromosomes have independently evolved multiple times by X‐autosome fusions with different autosomes. Here, we generated new...

Cognitive dysfunction following radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most common complications associated with RT delivered to the brain, but the precise mechanisms behind this dysfunction are not well understood, and to date, there are no preventative measures or effective treatments. To improve patient outcomes, a better understanding of the effects of radiation on the brain’s functional systems is required. Functional magnetic r...
