Centromeres ensure the correct segregation of chromosomes during cell division and are fundamental to genome evolution. While expansions of DNA within centromeres are known for many species, most centromeres are stable over evolutionary time and are relatively uniform across all centromeres in one genome. Thus, decoupling the equilibration events that occur across chromosomes from the […]

Bacteria are the smallest organisms that scientists agree are alive. But there are even smaller things that parasitize bacteria. UConn microbiologists have been studying a single gene that is a parasite of bacteria, and in the July 26 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they report that while it can hamper […]
