In #G3journal, Lumbroso et al. selected #yeast mutations that produced viable spores in the absence of recombination, identifying mutations in B-type cyclins. Learn more about the effect of deleting the cyclin gene CLB4 on sister centromere separation and segregation in meiosis I: buff.ly/glKfFCh

These two need their own movie:
A scientist couple spent 10+ years studying finch evolution on the Galápagos Islands while raising two kids (and mentoring post-docs) as the only inhabitants of the island.
They look like real characters.
