  - 'Background: Drosophila albomicans is a unique model organism for studying both
    sex chromosome and B chromosome evolution. A pair of its autosomes comprising
    roughly 40% of the whole genome has fused to the ancient X and Y chromosomes only
    about 0.12 million years ago, thereby creating the youngest and most gene-rich
    neo-sex system reported to date. This species also possesses recently derived
    B chromosomes that show non-Mendelian inheritance and significantly influence
    fertility.Methods: We sequenced male flies with B chromosomes at 124.5-fold genome
    coverage using next-generation sequencing. To characterize neo-Y specific changes
    and B chromosome sequences, we also sequenced inbred female flies derived from
    the same strain but without B''s at 28.5-fold.Results: We assembled a female genome
    and placed 53% of the sequence and 85% of the annotated proteins into specific
    chromosomes, by comparison with the 12 Drosophila genomes. Despite its very recent
    origin, the non-recombining neo-Y chromosome shows various signs of degeneration,
    including a significant enrichment of non-functional genes compared to the neo-X,
    and an excess of tandem duplications relative to other chromosomes. We also characterized
    a B-chromosome linked scaffold that contains an actively transcribed unit and
    shows sequence similarity to the subcentromeric regions of both the ancient X
    and the neo-X chromosome.Conclusions: Our results provide novel insights into
    the very early stages of sex chromosome evolution and B chromosome origination,
    and suggest an unprecedented connection between the births of these two systems
    in D. albomicans.@eng'
