“…In general, high degrees of synteny have been observed across much of Pteriomorphia, including between scallop species (Han et al 2022), between scallop and ark clam genomes (Bao et al 2021), and scallop versus Mytilidae comparisons (Yang et al 2021). The most extensive genome rearrangements in Pteriomorphia are in the oysters, which have notably fewer chromosomes (e.g., Gundappa et al 2022) than groups such as scallops.…”

“…Indeed, Foxl2 also behaves in a dose-dependent manner in some turtle species where its overexpression at the embryonic stage can induce male-to-female sex reversal in ZZ soft-shelled turtles ( Pelodiscus sinensis ) and female differentiation in male-temperature-incubated red-eared sliders ( Trachemys scripta ) (Jin et al 2022; Ma et al 2022). Importantly, Dmrt1 has been recruited to act as a primary sex determining gene in multiple taxa (Matson and Zarkower, 2012), while Foxl2 has remained mysteriously absent from this list—with the singular putative exception being recently described in some species of bivalve mollusks (Han et al 2022). Thus, the identification of both Foxl2 and a duplicated Foxl2 copy in the W-limited region of the Shinisaurus genome supports the expanded list of the “usual suspects” that might act as the PSD in vertebrates.…”

“…For example, in Phylum Mollusca, Class Bivalvia, there are gonochoric species with genetic sex determination in the absence of heteromorphic chromosomes and hermaphroditic species in which male and female gonadal material are present in the same individual, either simultaneously (e.g., bay scallop, Argopecten irradians ) or sequentially (Breton et al, 2018; Wei et al, 2021). A recent comparative phylogenomic survey of sex in the family Pectinidae suggests that sex chromosome homomorphy in gonochoric scallop species evolved as early as 350 million years ago via repetitive element‐driven chromosomal rearrangement and has been maintained through regulatory flexibility of sex‐related genes during gonadal development (Han et al, 2022). Among bivalve hermaphrodites, sequential hermaphrodites can be female first (protogynous; e.g., Asian clam, Corbicula fluminalis ), male first (protandrous; e.g., pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera ), or capable of alternating between sexes within a single reproductive season such as the European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis (Joyce et al, 2013; Morton, 1982; Teaniniuraitemoana et al, 2014).…”
