Chromosome-scale scaffolds of the fungus gnat genome reveal multi-Mb-scale chromosome-folding interactions, centromeric enrichments of retrotransposons, and candidate telomere sequences

Abstract Background The lower Dipteran fungus gnat, Bradysia (aka Sciara) coprophila, has compelling chromosome biology. Paternal chromosomes are eliminated during male meiosis I and both maternal X sister chromatids are retained in male meiosis II. Embryos start with three copies of the X chromosom...
