Cytoduction Preserves Genetic Diversity Following Plasmid Transfer Into Pooled Yeast Libraries

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
Unlike transformation, cytoduction (mating without nuclear fusion) is efficient at introducing plasmids into high‐diversity libraries with minimal impact on population diversity. ABSTRACT Introducing plasmids into yeast is a critical step for many phenotypic assays and genetic engineering applications.

RepeatOBserver: Tandem Repeat Visualisation and Putative Centromere Detection

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tandem repeats play an important role in centromere structure, subtelomeric regions, DNA methylation, recombination and the regulation of gene activity. Analysis of their distribution in genomes offers a potential means for predicting putative centromere locations, which continues to be a challenge for genome annotation.

Strong Signatures of Selection on Candidate Genes Underlying Core Speciation Mechanisms in Desert Tortoises

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genomic incompatibilities and differential ecological adaptation are thought to be fundamental mechanisms of speciation. In this study, we generated a chromosome‐scale reference genome and annotation for Gopherus morafkai , the Sonoran Desert tortoise, and conducted a detailed analysis of genes under positive selection with its sister species,

A centromere’s obsession with transposons [PDF]

open access: yesNature Plants
Transposable elements frequently invade centromeres, yet their influence on centromere function has long been enigmatic. A new study reveals that epigenetic silencing of centromeric transposable elements is essential for chromosome cohesion and proper segregation during cell division.

A Guide to Screening for Autoimmune Diseases in Patients With Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus

open access: yesAustralasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTBackgroundThe aetiology of vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) remains unknown. However, there is evidence that in addition to a genetic predisposition, autoimmunity contributes to the pathogenesis.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of autoimmune disease and positive autoantibody serology in patients with VLS ...

Innovative all‐in‐one exome sequencing strategy for diagnostic genetic testing in male infertility: Validation and 10‐month experience

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Current guidelines indicate that patients with extreme oligozoospermia or azoospermia should be tested for chromosomal imbalances, azoospermia factor (AZF) deletions and/or CFTR variants. For other sperm abnormalities, no genetic diagnostics are recommended.
