A near-complete genome assembly of the bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps provides insights into the origin of Pogona sex chromosomes.

In terms of BMPR1A , the expression of BMPR1A-Z was a bit male-biased at stage 6/7, but the following sharp decrease of BMPR1A-Z expression in ZZ males made it become significantly female-biased at later stages; however, BMPR1A-A did not show significant sex-biased expression throughout development, although a slight trend of male-biased expression was observed (Fig. 6F ).
