Non-specific interactions are sufficient to explain the position of heterochromatic chromocenters and nucleoli in interphase nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The organization of the eukaryote nucleus into functional compartments arises by self-organization both through specific protein–protein and protein–DNA interactions and non-specific interactions that lead to entropic effects, such as e.g.

Molecular effects of dADD1 misexpression in chromatin organization and transcription

open access: yesBMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020
Background dADD1 and dXNP proteins are the orthologs in Drosophila melanogaster of the ADD and SNF2 domains, respectively, of the ATRX vertebrate’s chromatin remodeler, they suppress position effect variegation phenotypes and participate in ...

Chromosomes as Barcodes: Discovery of a New Species of Black Fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) from California, USA

open access: yesInsects, 2022
One of the most popular tools for species discovery and resolution is the DNA barcode, typically based on the cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene. However, other non-genic barcodes are available for Diptera.

The Effect of TBP-Related Factor 2 on Chromocenter Formation and Chromosome Segregation in Drosophila Melanogaster

open access: yes, 2017
Chromosome nondisjunction in meiosis causes the gene disbalance and a number of anomalies in development and fertility. Otherwise, genetically programmed sex-ratio meiotic drive occurs in a number of species.

Chromosomal characteristics and evolutionary relationships of the Palearctic black fly Simulium carthusiense (Diptera: Simuliidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
The giant, polytene chromosomes of Simulium carthusiense Grenier & Dorier, 1959 were mapped, and all rearrangements were resolved relative to the standard banding sequence for the S. vernum group.

Non-coding roX RNAs prevent the binding of the MSL-complex to heterochromatic regions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Long non-coding RNAs contribute to dosage compensation in both mammals and Drosophila by inducing changes in the chromatin structure of the X-chromosome.

Mechanisms governing the accessibility of DNA damage proteins to constitutive heterochromatin

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Chromatin is thought to regulate the accessibility of the underlying DNA sequence to machinery that transcribes and repairs the DNA. Heterochromatin is chromatin that maintains a sufficiently high density of DNA packing to be visible by light microscopy ...

Structure and function of centromeric and pericentromeric heterochromatin in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
The centromere is a specific chromosomal region where the kinetochore assembles to ensure the faithful segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis and meiosis. Centromeres are defined by a local enrichment of the specific histone variant CenH3 mostly
