Karyotype asymmetry in Cuscuta L. subgenus Pachystigma reflects its repeat DNA composition

Amalia Ibiapino et al.

Summary: Cuscuta is a genus with cytogenetic diversity, and its karyotypes and genome sizes vary significantly. This study investigated the origin and mechanism of bimodal karyotypes in the subgenus Pachystigma through analysis of chromosome characteristics. The accumulation of repetitive DNA in the larger chromosome pairs was found to be the main cause of the bimodal karyotypes in the subgenus Pachystigma.

The Evolution of Chromosome Numbers: Mechanistic Models and Experimental Approaches

Itay Mayrose et al.

Summary: Chromosome numbers are a fundamental genomic attribute, providing strong phylogenetic signals, but vary widely among eukaryotes. Changes in chromosome numbers, often indicating major genomic events, can be inferred through mechanistic processes, experimental procedures, and computational methodologies. These tools allow for valuable predictions about historical events that have influenced chromosome numbers and genome structures.

Impact of parasitic lifestyle and different types of centromere organization on chromosome and genome evolution in the plant genus Cuscuta

Pavel Neumann et al.

Summary: The parasitic genus Cuscuta stands out for its unique centromere organization and genome size variations among plants. Monocentric Cuscuta species show a remarkable 102-fold variation in genome sizes, while holocentric species have more moderate sizes. The transition to holocentric chromosomes in Cuscuta is associated with changes in epigenetic marks, chromosome number, and repetitive DNA sequence composition.

Model adequacy tests for probabilistic models of chromosome-number evolution

Anna Rice et al.

Summary: Chromosome number evolution models are crucial for inferring genome duplications and ancestral chromosome numbers. Using inadequate models can lead to errors in inference tasks.

Tempo and mode in karyotype evolution revealed by a probabilistic model incorporating both chromosome number and morphology

Kohta Yoshida et al.

Summary: Karyotype, the fundamental genetic characteristic of all organisms, plays a crucial role in divergent adaptation and speciation. This study established a probabilistic model to simulate karyotype evolution, illustrating differences in karyotype evolution between two fish taxonomic groups and suggesting possible roles of karyotype in speciation and extinction.
