Tandemly organized highly repetitive DNA sequences are crucial structural and functional
elements of eukaryotic genomes. Despite extensive evidence, satellite DNA remains an …

Incompatibilities between parental genomes decrease viability of interspecific hybrids;
however, deviations from canonical gametogenesis such as genome endoreplication and …

Many closely related species are capable of mating to produce hybrid offspring, which are
usually sterile. Nevertheless, altering the gametogenesis of hybrid offspring can rescue …

In most organisms, cells typically maintain genome integrity, as radical genome
reorganization leads to dramatic consequences. However, certain organisms, ranging from …

Amphibian and bird karyotypes typically have a complex organization, which makes them
difficult for standard cytogenetic analysis. That is, amphibian chromosomes are generally …

Background Interspecies animal hybrids can employ clonal or hemiclonal reproduction
modes where one or all parental genomes are transmitted to the progeny without …

DNA elimination is a radical form of gene silencing and occurs both in somatic and germ
cells. The programmed DNA elimination occurs during gametogenesis in interspecies …

An intriguing outcome of hybridisation is the emergence of clonally and hemiclonally
reproducing hybrids, that can sustain, reproduce, and lead to the emergence of polyploid …

Hybrid taxa from the genus Pelophylax can propagate themselves in a modified way of
sexual reproduction called hybridogenesis ensuring the formation of clonal gametes …

Hybridogenesis is well-known attributes of water frogs of the genus Pelophylax. The P.
esculentus complex consists of two parental species, P. lessonae and P. ridibundus, as well …
