PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

Genome Research, 2016 Alpha satellite is a tandemly organized type of repetitive DNA that comprises 5% of the genome and is found at all human centromeres. A defined number of 171-bp monomers are organized into chromosome-specific higher-order repeats (HORs) that are ...

One Yeast, Sixteen Synthetic Chromosomes, Infinite Possibilities
Yeast, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The evolution of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, from a genetically tractable model organism to a chassis for genome‐scale engineering represents one of the most influential trajectories in eukaryotic biology. The Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0) embodies the current height of this trajectory, having now delivered functional ...

Centromere repositioning in mammals
, 2012 The evolutionary history of chromosomes can be tracked by the comparative hybridization of large panels of bacterial artificial chromosome clones. This approach has disclosed an unprecedented phenomenon: 'centromere repositioning', that is, the movement ...

Temporal control of epigenetic centromere specification [PDF]
, 2012 All living organisms require accurate mechanisms to faithfully inherit their genetic material during cell division. The centromere is a unique locus on each chromosome that supports a multiprotein structure called the kinetochore.

Genetic Tools in the Nakaseomyces clade for Evolutionary Comparisons of Signal Transduction Pathways
Yeast, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The genus Nakaseomyces provides four species that are closely related but have different characteristics. For example, N. glabratus (formerly known as Candida glabrata) is a common human pathogen, whereas N. bracarensis and N. nivariensis have been isolated in clinical settings but are not common human pathogens. N.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Genetic manipulation of centromere function.
, 1987 A conditional centromere was constructed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by placing the centromere of chromosome III immediately downstream from the inducible GAL1 promoter from S. cerevisiae.
