Variability of interstitial telomeric-like repeats in Mediterranean weedy species
A telomere is the region of DNA that marks the end of a chromosome. The protect the ends of the chromosome, and stop one chromosome from fusing with another. So finding something that looks like a telomere in the middle...
Directional gene conversion and homogenization of rDNA shapes evolution in Brassica
Brassica napus (AACC, oilseed rape) is an allotetraploid species derived from the putative progenitor diploid species B.rapa (AA) and B. oleracea (CC). To assess the influence of intensive breeding conditions on the...

Molecular mechanisms of noise and robustness
Robustness, the inverse of noise, is a molecularly programmed feature of biological systems. The molecular networks of some organismal phenotypes like development are designed to maximize robustness, while other...
