revealed a large open reading frame (ORF) encoding a reverse transcriptase that had greatest …

In the parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, males are haploid and usually develop from
unfertilized eggs, whereas females are diploid and develop from fertilized eggs. Some individuals …

… Tracing their sequence evolution in the Drosophila lineage suggests that the extensive
similarity of the R2 ribozyme from D. simulans to that of HDV was a result of convergent evolution, …

Large blocks of tandemly repeated DNAs—satellite DNAs (satDNAs)—play important roles
in heterochromatin formation and chromosome segregation. We know little about how …

Extrachromosomal inheritance is ubiquitous among plants and animals; however, most
extrachromosomal factors are uniparentally inherited through females, but not through males 1 . …

… The lack of detectable bands in some lanes (Nv, lanes B, C, D and Ng, lanes C, D) is most
