Beaksedges harbour multiple centromeres in each chromosome, yet crossover distribution is distally biased, like in monocentric species, but with no correlation with (epi)genomic features. This study s...
Preprint from our lab: how many mutations are needed to turn an obligate homodimer into an obligate heterodimer by gene duplication? One/gene is enough. See the full story on how deleterious mutations can construct more complex molecular machines. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Abstract submission for SMBE2024 is now live! Don't miss our symposium on the functional effects of SVs, co-organized with @mydennis.bsky.social@ellenleffler.bsky.social@christinebeck.bsky.social@levine-lab.bsky.social
Meiotic drive against chromosome fusions in butterfly hybrids www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.02.578558v1
Species frequently differ in karyotype, but heterokaryotypic individuals may suffer from reduced fit
thank you!
So glad our paper on lethal hybrid incompatibilities is out at Nature today: rdcu.be/dvFcM@ben-moran.bsky.social moved mountains for this project: we identified two new incompatibilities in swordtail hybrids , characterize mechanisms of lethality, and their evolutionary history.
