Building a complex structure such as the cell wall, with many individual parts that need to be
assembled correctly from distinct sources within the cell, is a well-orchestrated process …

Meiotic drivers are selfish genetic elements that bias their transmission into gametes, often
to the detriment of the rest of the genome. The resulting intragenomic conflicts triggered by …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

The production of haploids is an important first step in creating many new plant varieties.
One approach used in Arabidopsis involves crossing plants expressing different forms of …

Hybrid sterility restricts the utilization of superior heterosis of indica-japonica inter-
subspecific hybrids. In this study, we report the identification of RHS12, a major locus …

Creating gapless telomere-to-telomere assemblies of complex genomes is one of the
ultimate challenges in genomics. We use two independent assemblies and an optical map …

Various cancer types exhibit characteristic and recurrent aneuploidy patterns. The origins of
these cancer type‐specific karyotypes are still unknown, partly because introducing or …

The segregation of chromosomes depends on the centromere. Most species are
monocentric, with the centromere restricted to a single region per chromosome. In some …

Scientists are rapidly developing synthetic gene drive elements intended for release into
natural populations. These are intended to control or eradicate disease vectors and pests, or …

Kinesins constitute a superfamily of ATP-driven microtubule motor enzymes that convert the
chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis into mechanical work along microtubule tracks. Kinesins …
