Here are three Northern Swordtail genomes where we think LG21 is the sex chrom.

Structural genomic variation and behavioral interactions underpin a balanced sexual mimicry polymorphism
The false gravid spot is a sexual mimicry polymorphism that allows males to mimic
females. Dodge et al. link the phenotype to structural variation that increases expression
of the nearby kitlga gene. ...

We’ve had success with this hybrid approach, but preliminarily >40x ONT UL alone also seems to get us near T2T. Genome is 720mb. Didn’t collect HiC for this individual and scaffolded to an existing reference
