They possess an XX/XY sex determination system which has evolved from an XX/X0 system present in other Blattodean species, such as cockroaches and wood roaches. Little is currently known about the sex chromosomes of termites, their gene content, or their evolution. We here investigate the X chromosome of multiple termite species and compare them with the X chromosome of cockroaches using genomic and transcriptomic data. We find that the X chromosome of the termite Macrotermes natalensis is large and differentiated showing hall marks of sex chromosome evolution such as dosage compensation, while this does not seem to be the case in the other two termite species investigated here where sex chromosomes may be evolutionary younger. Furthermore, the X chromosome in M. natalensis is different from the X chromosome found in the cockroach Blattella germanica indicating that sex chromosome turn-over events may have happened during termite evolution.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","intvolume":"        16","has_accepted_license":"1","article_number":"evae265","ddc":["570"],"acknowledgement":"urthermore, we thank all lab members and collaborators for feedback on the project.
