  text: Eurasian brine shrimp (genus Artemia) have closely related sexual and asexual
    lineages of parthenogenetic females, which produce rare males at low frequencies.
    Although they are known to have ZW chromosomes, these are not well characterized,
    and it is unclear whether they are shared across the clade. Furthermore, the underlying
    genetic architecture of the transmission of asexuality, which can occur when rare
    males mate with closely related sexual females, is not well understood. We produced
    a chromosome-level assembly for the sexual Eurasian species A. sinica and characterized
    in detail the pair of sex chromosomes of this species. We combined this new assembly
    with short-read genomic data for the sexual species A. sp. Kazakhstan and several
    asexual lineages of A. parthenogenetica, allowing us to perform an in-depth characterization
    of sex-chromosome evolution across the genus. We identified a small differentiated
    region of the ZW pair that is shared by all sexual and asexual lineages, supporting
    the shared ancestry of the sex chromosomes. We also inferred that recombination
    suppression has spread to larger sections of the chromosome independently in the
    American and Eurasian lineages. Finally, we took advantage of a rare male, which
    we backcrossed to sexual females, to explore the genetic basis of asexuality.
    Our results suggest that parthenogenesis is likely partly controlled by a locus
    on the Z chromosome, highlighting the interplay between sex determination and
    asexuality.
