A substantial portion of the genomes of most multicellular eukaryotes consists of large arrays
of tandemly repeated sequence, collectively called satellite DNA. The processes generating …

The impact of transposable elements (TEs) on the evolution of the eukaryote genome has
been observed in a number of biological processes, such as the recruitment of the host's …

INTRODUCTION The centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes assemble the multiprotein
kinetochore complex and thereby position attachment to the spindle microtubules, allowing …

Arabidopsis thaliana is an important and long-established model species for plant molecular
biology, genetics, epigenetics, and genomics. However, the latest version of reference …

Genome editing using CRISPR–Cas9 works efficiently in plant cells, but delivery of genome-
editing machinery into the vast majority of crop varieties is not possible using established …

Motivation The advent of long-read DNA sequencing is allowing complete assembly of
highly repetitive genomic regions for the first time, including the megabase-scale satellite …

Eukaryotic centromeres contain the kinetochore, which connects chromosomes to the
spindle allowing segregation. During meiosis, centromeres are suppressed for inter …

Wide crosses result in postzygotic elimination of one parental chromosome set, but the
mechanisms that result in such differential fate are poorly understood. Here, we show that …

High‐quality radish (Raphanus sativus) genome represents a valuable resource for
agronomical trait improvements and understanding genome evolution among Brassicaceae …

Centromeres (CEN) are the chromosomal regions that play a crucial role in maintaining
genomic stability. The underlying highly repetitive DNA sequences can evolve quickly in …
