I won’t be at #Botany2026 but for those interested in bryophyte phylogenetics or sex chromosomes check out Seyeon Kim’s talk at 9:30a Monday in Colloquia 1 - Beyond Phylogenomics: Innovative applications of target capture data

UVfinder: a tool to extract bryophyte sex-linked gene copies from the GoFlag408 probe set
Premise Target enrichment sequencing using probe sets like GoFlag 408 has revolutionized phylogenetics, yet recent genomic data indicate that some probes may be sex-linked, potentially introducing top...

Seyeon found that sex linked GoFlag probes were indeed common in bryos but were usually recent, each only in a few species. This pattern is consistent with frequent neo sex chromosome formation (fusions either autosomes). Interestingly they seem less common in liverworts and hornworts

After using the GoFlag probe set we discovered that some loci were sex linked in bryophytes. If sex linked dups were common it could cause topological conflict, but sex-aware analyses could produce better trees. Seyeon built the UVfinder to test if sex linked probes were common and widely shared
