Patterns of Inter-Chromosomal Gene Conversion on the Male-Specific Region of the Human Y Chromosome [PDF]
The male-specific region of the human Y chromosome (MSY) is characterized by the lack of meiotic recombination and it has long been considered an evolutionary independent region of the human genome.

The influence of relatives on the efficiency and error rate of familial searching [PDF]
We investigate the consequences of adopting the criteria used by the state of California, as described by Myers et al. (2011), for conducting familial searches.

Recombining your way out of trouble: the genetic architecture of hybrid fitness under environmental stress [PDF]
Hybridization between species is a fundamental evolutionary force that can both promote and delay adaptation. There is a deficit in our understanding of the genetic basis of hybrid fitness, especially in non-domesticated organisms.

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 ...

Dipteran chromosomes: a simple method for obtaining high quality chromosomal preparations [PDF]
For cytogenetic studies it is necessary to develop an efficient method of chromosome preparation with wellpreserved and dispersed chromosomes and little or no cell-wall debris.

The Neolithic transition in Europe: archaeological models and genetic evidence [PDF]
The major pattern in the European gene pool is a southeast-northwest frequency gradient of classic genetic markers such as blood groups, which population geneticists initially attributed to the demographic impact of Neolithic farmers dispersing from the ...

How Do Y-Chromosomes Modulate Genome-Wide Epigenetic States: Genome Folding, Chromatin Sinks, and Gene Expression [PDF]
The Y chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans contain only a handful of protein-coding genes, which are related to sperm mobility and reproductive fitness.

Evidence for a nuclear compartment of transcription and splicing located at chromosome domain boundaries [PDF]
The nuclear topography of splicing snRNPs, mRNA transcripts and chromosome domains in various mammalian cell types are described. The visualization of splicing snRNPs, defined by the Sm antigen, and coiled bodies, revealed distinctly different ...

Multicolour interphase cytogenetics: 24 chromosome probes, 6 colours, 4 layers [PDF]
From the late 1980s onwards, the use of DNA probes to visualise sequences on individual chromosomes (fluorescent in-situ hybridisation - FISH) revolutionised the study of cytogenetics.

The Effect of X-Rays on Cytological Traits of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) [PDF]
The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the most important pests of tomato. With the purpose of developing environmentally friendly control tactics such as the inherited sterility (IS) technique against this ...
