Evolutionary patterns and functional effects of 3D chromatin structures in butterflies with extensive genome rearrangements
Abstract Chromosome rearrangements may distort 3D chromatin architectures and thus change gene regulation, yet how 3D chromatin structures evolve in insects is largely unknown.Here, we obtain chromosome-level genomes for four butterfly species, Graphium cloanthus, Graphium sarpedon, Graphium eurypylus with 2n = 30, 40, and 60, Pens respectively, an
