The evolutionary history of chromosomes can be tracked by the comparative hybridization of
large panels of bacterial artificial chromosome clones. This approach has disclosed an …

Since Darwin first noted that the process of speciation was indeed the “mystery of mysteries,”
scientists have tried to develop testable models for the development of reproductive …

Equine Behavior: A guide for Veterinarians and Equine Scientists is the quintessential
reference for all who really want to know what makes horses tick. Research in horse …

Although chromosome rearrangements (CRs) are central to studies of genome evolution,
our understanding of the evolutionary consequences of the early stages of karyotypic …

Centromeres are epigenetically specified by the histone H3 variant CENP-A and typically
associated with highly repetitive satellite DNA. We previously discovered natural satellite …

Mammalian centromeres are associated with highly repetitive DNA (satellite DNA), which
has so far hindered molecular analysis of this chromatin domain. Centromeres are …

In a previous study, we showed that centromere repositioning, that is the shift along the
chromosome of the centromeric function without DNA sequence rearrangement, has …

Chromosome reshuffling events are often a foundational mechanism by which speciation
can occur, giving rise to highly derivative karyotypes even amongst closely related species …

The duplication and segregation of the genome during cell division is crucial to maintain cell
identity, development of organisms and tissue maintenance. Centromeres are at the basis of …

From eminent biologists like Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin to famous authors
such as Rudyard Kipling in his Just So Stories, many people have asked,“Why do zebras …
