Taxonomy and dated molecular phylogeny of Allium oreophilum sensu lato (A. subg. Porphyroprason) uncover a surprising number of cryptic taxa

open access: yesTAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Allium oreophilum, hitherto the representative of the monotypic A. subg. Porphyroprason from the second evolutionary lineage of Allium, is studied in detail. Over about 150 years, A. oreophilum was regarded as a somewhat polymorphous species with two synonyms, all described in the 19th century.

The Ndc80 complex bridges two Dam1 complex rings

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Strong kinetochore-microtubule attachments are essential for faithful segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis. The Dam1 and Ndc80 complexes are the main microtubule binding components of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinetochore.

Upregulation of ST3GAL5 predicts suppression of malignant biological behavior in bladder cancer

open access: yesUroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bladder cancer (BLCA) is the most prevalent malignancy in the urinary tract system, while ST3GAL5 is a protein‐coding gene that catalyzes the formation of ganglioside monosialodihexosylganglioside 3 (GM3) synthase. GM3 synthase has been reported to significantly influence the malignant process of various cancers.

Polar Ejection Forces Promote the Conversion from Lateral to End-on Kinetochore-Microtubule Attachments on Mono-oriented Chromosomes

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Chromosome bi-orientation occurs after conversion of initial lateral attachments between kinetochores and spindle microtubules into stable end-on attachments near the cell equator. After bi-orientation, chromosomes experience tension from spindle forces,

Cytoduction Preserves Genetic Diversity Following Plasmid Transfer Into Pooled Yeast Libraries

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
Unlike transformation, cytoduction (mating without nuclear fusion) is efficient at introducing plasmids into high‐diversity libraries with minimal impact on population diversity. ABSTRACT Introducing plasmids into yeast is a critical step for many phenotypic assays and genetic engineering applications.

RepeatOBserver: Tandem Repeat Visualisation and Putative Centromere Detection

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tandem repeats play an important role in centromere structure, subtelomeric regions, DNA methylation, recombination and the regulation of gene activity. Analysis of their distribution in genomes offers a potential means for predicting putative centromere locations, which continues to be a challenge for genome annotation.

Strong Signatures of Selection on Candidate Genes Underlying Core Speciation Mechanisms in Desert Tortoises

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genomic incompatibilities and differential ecological adaptation are thought to be fundamental mechanisms of speciation. In this study, we generated a chromosome‐scale reference genome and annotation for Gopherus morafkai , the Sonoran Desert tortoise, and conducted a detailed analysis of genes under positive selection with its sister species,
