Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Programmed DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) initiate meiotic recombination at discrete genomic hotspots, and their precise mapping is crucial for understanding the molecular regulation of genome stability and evolution. A variety of genome‐wide methods have been developed, each leveraging different biochemical principles — from direct capture ...

Regulation of Meiotic Recombination [PDF]
, 2011 Meiotic recombination results in the heritable rearrangement of DNA, primarily through reciprocal exchange between homologous chromosome or gene conversion. In plants these events are critical for ensuring proper chromosome segregation, facilitating DNA repair and providing a basis for genetic diversity.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.In arthropods, thelytokous parthenogenesis, in which females develop from unfertilised eggs, is often associated with reproductive manipulation by endosymbiotic bacteria such as Wolbachia and Cardinium. This study investigated whether thelytokous parthenogenesis in two mite species, Amblyseius herbicolus (Phytoseiidae) and Czenspinskia ...

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering
Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.

Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA
Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

Scientific ReportsDNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) activate DNA damage responses (DDRs) in both mitotic and meiotic cells. A single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein, Replication protein-A (RPA) binds to the ssDNA formed at DSBs to activate ATR/Mec1 kinase for the ...

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...
