Quelling targets the rDNA locus and functions in rDNA copy number control [PDF]
RNA silencing occurs in a broad range of organisms. Although its ancestral function is probably related to the genome defense mechanism against repetitive selfish elements, it has been found that RNA silencing regulates different cellular processes such as gene expression and chromosomal segregation.

Heterochromatin heteromorphism in Holhymenia rubiginosa (Heteroptera: Coreidae)
Heterochromatin is one of the most dynamic components in the genome of species. Previous studies on the heterochromatin content and distribution in Heteroptera (insects with holokinetic chromosomes) have shown that the species belonging to the family ...

Candida albicans repetitive elements display epigenetic diversity and plasticity [PDF]
Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is associated with repetitive DNA. It is poorly understood whether and how heterochromatin differs between different organisms and whether its structure can be remodelled in response to environmental signals. Here,

Cytogenetic variability among Bradyporinae species (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)
Chromosomes of six European species (one with two subspecies) of Orthoptera belonging to the tribes Ephippigerini and Bradyporini were analyzed using C-banding, Ag-NOR, DAPI (AT-rich)/CMA3 (GC-rich) staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH ...

Karyotype evolution in progress: A new diploid number in Belostoma candidulum (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae) from Argentina leading to new insights into its ecology and evolution [PDF]
A novel chromosome complement (2n = 14 = 12 + XY/XX; male/female sex chromosomes), male meiosis behaviour, heterochromatin characterization, and frequency and distribution of chiasmata are described for the first time in specimens from a natural ...

Morphology and rDNA phylogeny of a Mediterranean Coolia monotis (Dinophyceae) strain from Greece
Sequences of LSU and SSU ribosomal RNA genes and phylogeny have not been widely investigated for the dinoflagellate Coolia monotis Meunier, and no information is available on the small and large rDNA subunits of Mediterranean strains.

Rio1 promotes rDNA stability and downregulates RNA polymerase I to ensure rDNA segregation [PDF]
The conserved protein kinase Rio1 localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus of eukaryotic cells. While the roles of Rio1 in the cytoplasm are well characterized, its nuclear function remains unknown. Here we show that nuclear Rio1 promotes rDNA array stability and segregation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
