PLoS ONE, 2012 The spatial and temporal control of chromosome duplication and segregation is crucial for proper cell division. While this process is well studied in eukaryotic and some prokaryotic organisms, relatively little is known about it in prokaryotic polyploids

A novel mitochondrial genome architecture in thrips (Insecta: Thysanoptera): extreme size asymmetry among chromosomes and possible recent control region duplication [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 Multipartite mitochondrial genomes are very rare in animals but have been found previously in two insect orders with highly rearranged genomes, the Phthiraptera (parasitic lice), and the Psocoptera (booklice/barklice).

Chromosome Pairing in Polyploid Grasses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Polyploids are species in which three or more sets of chromosomes coexist. Polyploidy frequently occurs in plants and plays a major role in their evolution.

Chromosome 15 structural abnormalities: effect on IGF1R gene expression and function
Endocrine Connections, 2017 Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), mapping on the 15q26.3 chromosome, is required for normal embryonic and postnatal growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the IGF1R gene expression and function in three unrelated patients with ...

Postnatal survival of mice with maternal duplication of distal chromosome 7 induced by a Igf2/H19 imprinting control region lacking insulator function. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 The misexpressed imprinted genes causing developmental failure of mouse parthenogenones are poorly defined. To obtain further insight, we investigated misexpressions that could cause the pronounced growth deficiency and death of fetuses with maternal ...

The DNA replication machinery transmits dual signals to prevent unscheduled licensing and execution of centrosome duplication [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCopy number control of DNA and centrosomes is essential for accurate genetic inheritance. DNA replication and centrosome duplication have been recognized as parallel key events for cell division.

Meiotic progression in multinuclear mouse spermatocytes without the spindle pole clustering motor protein KIFC1 or cytokinesis forms single-cell late-stage spermatids [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMammalian spermatogenesis is a highly dynamic process involving male germ cell self-renewal and terminal differentiation into progenitor cells that produce testicular sperm in coordination with testicular somatic support cells.
