Repeat-associated heterochromatin expansion in Acyclania tenebrosa, a noctuid with one of the largest lepidopteran genomes - BMC Genomics BMC Genomics - Genome size in Lepidoptera is generally constrained, and heterochromatin is typically limited to sex chromosomes. In some cases, the heterochromatin and genome size increased, but...

Happy to share another 2026 publication!

In this work, we explore genome organization by integrating genomic and cytogenetic approaches, shedding light on the role of repetitive DNA in shaping chromosomal structure and evolution.
