Genome

  1. Complex chromosome 6 inversions produced recombinant offspring
    Complex paracentric inversion of chromosome 6q with multiple sequential inversions generated recombinant chromosomes in offspring, challenging traditional reproductive risk assumptions.
  2. H. pylori genome contains the dciA helicase loader gene
    Discovery of dciA gene in Helicobacter pylori challenges established chromosome replication models and reveals limitations in current helicase loader identification methodologies.
  3. SFPQ helps protect repeat DNA from R-loop damage
    SFPQ directs histone H3.3 deposition to R-loops in repetitive DNA elements through DAXX recruitment, suppressing replication stress and genome instability while activating innate immune responses.
  4. Localised negative feedback shapes genome-wide patterning of meiotic DNA breaks
    Tel1-mediated negative feedback propagates locally to reshape genome-wide meiotic DSB patterns in yeast, demonstrating how localized regulation drives emergent patterning.
  5. Molecular markers improved garlic characterization and conservation
    Explore how molecular markers advance garlic genetic characterization and conservation, from early markers to high-resolution platforms enabling cultivar identification and breeding innovation.
  6. 5500-year-old Treponema pallidum genome found in Colombia
    A 5,500-year-old Treponema pallidum genome from Tequendama I, Colombia, forms a sister lineage to known subspecies, extending treponemal genomic history in the Americas.
