New work on Drosophila centromere evolution led by the amazing @cecilecourret.bsky.social!Thanks to all coauthors and collaborators in the @centromellone.bsky.social lab.
Our new paper on the rapid evolution of centromeres in Drosophila is out! 🚀 Discover how transposable elements and satellite DNAs shape centromere dynamics and drive karyotype evolution over short timescales. @amlarracuente.bsky.social 🌟 Check it out here: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Turnover of retroelements and satellite DNA drives centromere reorganization over short evolutionary timescales in Drosophila
Centromeres reside in rapidly evolving, repeat-rich genomic regions, despite their essential function in chromosome segregation. This study of centromere evolution over short evolutionary timescales i...

Our paper on a centromere-enriched retroelement is out! link.springer.com/article/10.1... Congratulations to all the authors! Comments and reposts welcome and appreciated 🧬🔬
Transcription of a centromere-enriched retroelement and local retention of its RNA are significant features of the CENP-A chromatin landscape - Genome Biology
Background Centromeres depend on chromatin containing the conserved histone H3 variant CENP-A for function and inheritance, while the role of centromeric DNA repeats remains unclear. Retroelements are...

Calling all geneticists! Remember to get your #TAGC24 abstracts submitted by *Thurs Nov 9* for consideration for a talk. (about a week away!)
Come present your work to science-friends spanning all the model organism communities AND MORE! genetics-gsa.org/tagc-2024/ab...
