Circlehunter: a tool to identify extrachromosomal circular DNA from ATAC-Seq data
In cancer, extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA), or megabase-pair amplified circular DNA, plays an essential role in intercellular heterogeneity and tumor cell revolution because of its non-Mendelian inheritance.

EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF A PATERNALLY INHERITED EXTRACHROMOSOMAL FACTOR [PDF]
ABSTRACT Virtually all known cases of extrachromosomal inheritance involve cytoplasmic inheritance through the maternal line. Recently, a paternally transmitted factor that causes the production of all-male families has been discovered in a parasitic wasp.

Inheritance of extrachromosomal rDNA in Physarum polycephalum. [PDF]
In the acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum, the several hundred genes coding for rRNA are located on linear extrachromosomal DNA molecules of a discrete size, 60 kilobases. Each molecule contains two genes that are arranged in a palindromic fashion and separated by a central spacer region. We investigated how rDNA is inherited after meiosis. Two

Sperm-Mediated Transgenerational Inheritance
Spermatozoa of virtually all species can spontaneously take up exogenous DNA or RNA molecules and internalize them into nuclei. In this article I review evidence for a key role of a reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, encoded by LINE-1 retrotransposons,

Meiotic cellular rejuvenation is coupled to nuclear remodeling in budding yeast
Production of healthy gametes in meiosis relies on the quality control and proper distribution of both nuclear and cytoplasmic contents. Meiotic differentiation naturally eliminates age-induced cellular damage by an unknown mechanism.

An empirical study of evolution of inheritance in Java OSS [PDF]
Previous studies of Object-Oriented (OO) software have reported avoidance of the inheritance mechanism and cast doubt on the wisdom of ‘deep’ inheritance levels.

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.
