Manipulating Unisexual–Sexual Reproduction Transition to Engineer Genome‐Reconstructed Polyploids
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study developed an efficient approach to generate genome‐reconstructed polyploids involving unisexual gynogenetic Carassius gibelio, sexual C. auratus, and sexual C. cuvieri. The selected superior clone inherited gynogenesis ability of C. gibelio and herpesvirus resistance of wild C.

Entropy as the driver of chromosome segregation [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2010 We present a new physical biology approach to understanding the relationship between the organization and segregation of bacterial chromosomes. We posit that replicated Escherichia coli daughter strands will spontaneously demix as a result of entropic forces, despite their strong confinement within the cell; in other words, we propose that entropy can ...

mBio, 2012 Vibrio cholerae has two chromosomes (chrI and chrII) whose replication and segregation are under different genetic controls. The region covering the replication origin of chrI resembles that of the Escherichia coli chromosome, and both origins are under ...

Genomic Insights into the Origin, High Fecundity and Environmental Adaptation of Hu Sheep
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Hu sheep diverged from the Small‐tailed Han sheep ≈1330 years ago, and subsequently migrated from northern to warm and humid southern regions. The genes BMPR1B, UNC5C, and GRID2 play a synergistic role in the superior reproductive traits of Hu sheep.

Chromosome segregation machinery and cancer [PDF]
Cancer Science, 2009 Loss or gain of chromosomes is associated with many cancer cells. This property, called chromosome instability, might arise from a lesion in the chromosome segregation machinery. Essential for chromosome segregation are the proper connection of microtubules to kinetochores, and the synchronous segregation of sister chromatids in anaphase.

Alternating Dynamics of
mSphere, 2020 Condensins are essential for global chromosome organization in diverse bacteria. Atypically, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa chromosome encodes condensins from two superfamilies, SMC-ScpAB and MksBEF.

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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.As an m6A reader, hnRNPA2B1 predominantly regulates specific transcripts (e.g., Ep400, Rrs1) that are essential for chromosome organization and remodeling in an m6A‐dependent manner. Furthermore, it is demonstrated to interact with factors involved in mRNA processing and translation. This dual functionality is pivotal for ensuring the proper occurrence

Loop-extruders alter bacterial chromosome topology to direct entropic forces for segregation
Nature CommunicationsEntropic forces have been argued to drive bacterial chromosome segregation during replication. In many bacterial species, however, specifically evolved mechanisms, such as loop-extruding SMC complexes and the ParABS origin segregation system, contribute ...

Mitosis-specific acetylation tunes Ran effector binding for chromosome segregation
Journal of Molecular Cell Biology, 2017 Stable transmission of genetic information during cell division requires faithful mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. The Ran GTPase plays a key role in mitotic spindle assembly.
