Extended Data Table 1 General characteristics of the genomes and sex chromosomes in representative brown algal species and an outgroup (Schizocladia ischiensis)

From: Origin and evolutionary trajectories of brown algal sex chromosomes

  1. Note: Note that Fucus serratus (F. serr) has a chromosome (LG15) that is homologous to the ancestral U/V sex chromosome because it contains several genes present in the ancestral U/V-SDR. However, none of these genes are sex-linked in F. serratus (see text for details). Note that the dioecious species F. serratus has male and female (diploid) sexes and no gametophyte generation, that is, an animal-like life cycle. The CDS and repeat densities of the U/V-homologues were placed in the same rows as the PAR values of the dioicous species.
