Analytical model for macromolecular partitioning during yeast cell division [PDF]
Background: Asymmetric cell division, whereby a parent cell generates two sibling cells with unequal content and thereby distinct fates, is central to cell differentiation, organism development and ageing.

Reciprocal extrachromosomal inheritance in rye (Secale cereale L.) [PDF]
In an inbred line of Steel rye (Stalrag), a chlorophyll mutant (status paralbomaculatus) arose spontaneously that displayed both extrachromosomal maternal and paternal inheritance in crosses. Striata plants gave rise to albino, striata, and normal offspring when selfed.

Yersinia pestis belongs to those pathogenic bacteria which produce lipopolysaccharide (LPS) having the function of a toxin. In order to make a toxic effect the polymer must be separated from the cell outer membrane and presented to the immunocompetent ...

Antiviral RNA Interference against Orsay Virus Is neither Systemic nor Transgenerational in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Antiviral RNA-mediated silencing (RNA interference [RNAi]) acts as a powerful innate immunity defense in plants, invertebrates, and mammals. In Caenorhabditis elegans, RNAi is systemic; i.e., RNAi silencing signals can move between cells and ...

Characteristics of E. coli K12 strains carrying both an F prime and an R factor [PDF]
The interrelationship between an F prime and an F-like or I-like R factor was studied in Escherichia coli K 12 strains carrying both. The donorability of such strains suggested that these plasmids were transferred independently by their own transfer ...

Coordinated inheritance of extrachromosomal DNA species in human cancer cells
ABSTRACT The chromosomal theory of inheritance has dominated human genetics, including cancer genetics. Genes on the same chromosome segregate together while genes on different chromosomes assort independently, providing a fundamental tenet of Mendelian inheritance.

EXTRACHROMOSOMAL INHERITANCE OF CARBON DIOXIDE SENSITIVITY IN THE MOSQUITO CULEX QUINQUEFASCIATUS [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mosquitoes from a laboratory colony of Culex quinquefasciatus from Matsu Island, China, develop irreversible paralytic symptoms after exposure to carbon dioxide at 1°. This CO2 sensitivity is caused by an inherited infectious agent, probably a virus.

The sperm factor: paternal impact beyond genes [PDF]
The fact that sperm carry more than the paternal DNA has only been discovered just over a decade ago. With this discovery, the idea that the paternal condition may have direct implications for the fitness of the offspring had to be revisited.

Microtubule-dependent ribosome localization in C. elegans neurons. [PDF]
Subcellular localization of ribosomes defines the location and capacity for protein synthesis. Methods for in vivo visualizing ribosomes in multicellular organisms are desirable in mechanistic investigations of the cell biology of ribosome dynamics. Here,

Replication and active partition of integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) of the SXT/R391 family : the line between ICEs and conjugative plasmids is getting thinner [PDF]
Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs) of the SXT/R391 family disseminate multidrug resistance among pathogenic Gammaproteobacteria such as Vibrio cholerae.
