Loading and linear translocation of condensin dosage compensation along the X-chromosomes create the loop-anchored topologically associating domains detected by Hi-C.

An analysis of gene dosage at the DNA, RNA and protein level yields new insights into the early stages of Z-chromosome dosage compensation in schistosome parasites.

Chromosome segregation in male spermatocytes exhibits anaphase A without shortening of autosome-associated microtubules and partitioning of an unpaired X chromosome that is initiated by an imbalance of attached kinetochore microtubules.

Female meiotic spindles correct trisomy by expelling extra chromosomes into the first polar body.

Genetic conflicts between sex chromosomes during spermatogenesis may drive the rapid evolution, function, and turnover of some sperm nuclear basic proteins in Drosophila species.

Seemingly contradictory findings of single-molecule and in vivo experiments on a major mechanism of chromosome organization are reconciled by computationally investigating mechanisms of loop extrusion that are consistent with both.

The finding that deletion of the genome folding motor leaves a significant fraction of a key structural feature of chromosome at the single cell and ensemble level has been explained.

A structural and biochemical study of human SYCP3 provides the first molecular model for the three-dimensional organisation that is imposed upon chromosomal DNA during meiosis and is essential for genetic exchange and fertility.

Subtelomeric sequences in the yeast S. cerevisiae are dispensable for either cell proliferation or homologous recombination-mediated telomere maintenance in telomerase-null cells, suggesting that these sequences represent remnants of genome evolution.

Genomic imprinting in the bryophyte Marchantia polymorpha by Polycomb results in maternal dominance of embryonic gene expression.
