Evolutionary geneticist. I investigate genome evolution, sex chromosomes, and spermatogenesis across mammals and fish. https://www.danshawgenes.com/
The final piece of my PhD work is now published in PLOS Genetics! We used single cell RNA-seq and meiotic chromosome immunostaining to study the regulation and evolution of the recently evolved sex chromomes in stickleback fish journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...
Single cell RNA-sequencing reveals no evidence for meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in the threespine stickleback fish
Author summary As male germ cells enter meiosis, the X and Y chromosome of many species undergo a drastic repression of gene expression. In mammals, this process has been shown to be essential for fer...
