@hendersi.bsky.social🧬🦋 New preprint out! 🦋🧬 What mechanisms underlie large-scale chromosomal rearrangements? Why do rearrangement rates vary so massively across taxa? We explored these questions in Erebia butterflies, a genus with extraordinary chromosome number diversity, from 7 to 52! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Show PostSharing our results on engineering neo-chromosomes in Arabidopsis: Centromere fission generated new chromosomes, increasing chromosome number from n=5 to n=6. Broken chromosome ends gained de novo telomeres, and the new karyotype stayed stable through mitosis and meiosis.
