Background: During male germ cells differentiation, genomewide re-organizations and highly specific programming of the male genome occur. These changes not only include the large-scale meiotic shuffling of genes, taking place in spermatocytes, but also a complete “re-packaging” of the male genome in post meiotic cells, leading to a highly compacted nucleo-protamine structure in the mature sperm...

An English literature student called up David C. Page a few years ago and told him she was thinking of doing a thesis that would rebut feminist criticism and bring back a measure of respectability to him and his work. “I didn’t know I was in need of rehabilitation,” Page remarks one late September afternoon in his fourth-fl oor corner offi ce at the Whitehead Institute on the Massachusetts Inst...

hybrids were produced by crossing female caspian kutum rutilus frisii kutum with male grass carp ctenopharyngodon idella. the genome of eight larvae and parents were studied using microsatellite markers for genetic evaluation and verification. after dna extraction from parent fish and progeny, hybrid heritability of two loci was assessed using two pairs of microsatellite primers. hybridizie...

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Euproctis similis (the yellow-tail; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lymantriidae). The sequence is 508 megabases in span. Over 99% of the scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with Z sex chromosome assembled. complete mitochondrial genome, 15.5 kb length, was also assembled.
