Pedigree reconstruction for triploid apple cultivars using single nucleotide polymorphism array data

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 98-111, January 2023., 2023
Many economically, culturally, and historically important apple cultivars are triploids, which have three copies of each chromosome instead of the more typical two copies in diploids. Despite their prevalence and importance, there have been conflicting reports regarding their origin and their ability to beget diploids.

Using Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) to study dynamics of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complex in vivo [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The SMC complex, MukBEF, is important for chromosome organization and segregation in Escherichia coli. Fluorescently tagged MukBEF forms distinct spots (or 'foci') in the cell, where it is thought to carry out most of its chromosome associated activities.

Breeding and selection of taro (Colocasia esculenta) for improved disease‐resistance in Hawaiʻi

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 123-145, January 2023., 2023
Taro is a root crop with wide geographic range and high cultural significance to Indigenous peoples of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. Taro Leaf Blight (TLB) is a worldwide disease of taro, and Hawaiian taro varieties exhibited little resistance to it. To improve TLB‐resistance, conventional breeding was conducted by hand‐pollination.

Brain Metabolic Features of FUS‐ALS: A 2‐[18F]FDG‐PET Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed at evaluating the brain metabolic features of fused in sarcoma amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FUS‐ALS) compared with sporadic ALS (sALS), using 2‐[fluorine‐18] fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography (2‐[18F]FDG‐PET). Methods We employed the 2‐sample t‐test model of SPM12, implemented in MATLAB, to compare 12 FUS‐ALS ...

UBASH3B-mediated silencing of the mitotic checkpoint: Therapeutic perspectives in cancer

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2018
Defects in mitosis can lead to aneuploidy, which is a common feature of human cancers. Spindle Assembly Checkpoint (SAC) controls fidelity of chromosome segregation in mitosis to prevent aneuploidy. The ubiquitin receptor protein Ubiquitin Associated and

Coordination of Chromosome Segregation and Cell Division in Staphylococcus aureus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Productive bacterial cell division and survival of progeny requires tight coordination between chromosome segregation and cell division to ensure equal partitioning of DNA.

Confinement-induced glassy dynamics in a model for chromosome organization [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. (2015) vol. 115, 198102, 2015
Recent experiments showing scaling of the intrachromosomal contact probability, $P(s)\sim s^{-1}$ with the genomic distance $s$, are interpreted to mean a self-similar fractal-like chromosome organization. However, scaling of $P(s)$ varies across organisms, requiring an explanation.

Non-random Mis-segregation of Human Chromosomes

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: A common assumption is that human chromosomes carry equal chances of mis-segregation during compromised cell division. Human chromosomes vary in multiple parameters that might generate bias, but technological limitations have precluded a ...

Impact of crowders on the morphology of bacterial chromosomes [PDF]

Europhysics Letters 128, 68003 (2019), 2019
Inspired by recent experiments on the effects of cytosolic crowders on the organization of bacterial chromosomes, we consider a "feather-boa" type model chromosome in the presence of non-additive crowders, encapsulated within a cylindrical cell. We observe spontaneous emergence of complementary helicity of the confined polymer and crowders.

Shennong 1 Chicken 40K Liquid Chip: Advancing Genetic Research in Chinese Indigenous Chickens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Based on comprehensive genomic data of Chinese indigenous chickens, we developed a specialized genotyping array for this population. Comparative analyses with published mainstream arrays and evaluations, including genetic assessment of diverse chicken types and gene mining analyses, demonstrated its superior applicability to Chinese indigenous chickens.
