Sex and Pubertal Differences in the Type 1 Interferon Pathway Associate With Both X Chromosome Number and Serum Sex Hormone Concentration. [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2018 Type 1 interferons (IFN) are an antiviral cytokine family, important in juvenile onset systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE) which is more common in females, around puberty.

Mechanisms of chromosome number evolution in yeast. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 The whole-genome duplication (WGD) that occurred during yeast evolution changed the basal number of chromosomes from 8 to 16. However, the number of chromosomes in post-WGD species now ranges between 10 and 16, and the number in non-WGD species ...

chromploid: An R package for chromosome number evolution across the plant tree of life. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2018 Premise of the Study Polyploidy has profound evolutionary consequences for land plants. Despite the availability of large phylogenetic and chromosomal data sets, estimating the rates of polyploidy and chromosomal evolution across the tree of life remains

Evolutionary mechanisms of runaway chromosome number change in Agrodiaetus butterflies. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Despite predictions of the classic, hybrid-sterility model of chromosomal speciation, some organisms demonstrate high rate of karyotype evolution. This rate is especially impressive in Agrodiaetus butterflies that rapidly evolved the greatest chromosome ...

Evolutionary implications of heterochromatin and rDNA in chromosome number and genome size changes during dysploidy: A case study in Reichardia genus. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 In this study we showed that constitutive heterochromatin, GC-rich DNA and rDNA are implicated in chromosomal rearrangements during the basic chromosome number changing (dysploidy) in Reichardia genus.

Recombination, chromosome number and eusociality in the Hymenoptera. [PDF]
J Evol Biol, 2015 Extraordinarily high rates of recombination have been observed in some eusocial species. The most popular explanation is that increased recombination increases genetic variation among workers, which in turn increases colony performance, for example by ...

Confinement and crowding control the morphology and dynamics of a model bacterial chromosome [PDF]
Soft Matter 15, 2677-2687 (2019), 2018 Motivated by recent experiments probing shape, size and dynamics of bacterial chromosomes in growing cells, we consider a polymer model consisting of a circular backbone to which side-loops are attached, confined to a cylindrical cell. Such a model chromosome spontaneously adopts a helical shape, which is further compacted by molecular crowders to ...

Intermittency as a universal characteristic of the complete chromosome DNA sequences of eukaryotes: From protozoa to human genomes [PDF]
, 2011 Large-scale dynamical properties of complete chromosome DNA sequences of eukaryotes are considered. By the proposed deterministic models with intermittency and symbolic dynamics we describe a wide spectrum of large-scale patterns inherent in these sequences, such as segmental duplications, tandem repeats, and other complex sequence structures.
