Centromere deletion in Cryptococcus deuterogattii results in neocentromeres, which span actively expressed genes and at elevated temperatures cen10∆ mutants are unstable leading to chromosome fusion and silencing of the neocentromere.

Cdc13 prevents chromosomes from end-to-end fusion.

Chromosome condensation by condensin II is inhibited during interphase by direct interaction with MCPH1, which regulates opening of the condensin II interface between SMC2 and NCAPH2, in a similar fashion to how WAPL regulates Cohesin.

SpoIIIE forms a protein channel that spans the two lipid bilayers of the septum and mediates chromosome translocation and reversible membrane fission during Bacilus subtilis sporulation.

The centromeres in Malassezia species, by breakage or inactivation, facilitate genome rearrangements that can result in varying karyotypes and contribute to the evolution of these species.

Rapid acquisition of chromosome rearrangements, together with independently acting transmission distorter alleles on each chromosome, drive near complete sterility in fission yeast hybrids.

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.

A computational model of fission yeast mitosis can interrogate mechanisms required for successful mitosis, the origin of spindle length fluctuations, and spindle force balance during assembly.

Novel segmental chromosome amplifications in Candida albicans provide rapid adaptation to the most widely used antifungal drugs.

A telomerase recruitment mechanism delivers cell cycle information to the telomere-telomerase interface to ensure timely telomerase engagement at the telomere.
