The systematics of the cophyline microhylid frog genera Plethodontohyla and Rhombophryne have long been intertwined, and their relationships have only recently started to become clear.While Rhombophryne has received a lot of recent taxonomic attention, Plethodontohyla has been largely neglected.Our study is a showcase of just how complex the taxono
Direct and indirect control of the initiation of meiotic recombination by DNA damage checkpoint mechanisms in budding yeast.
Meiotic recombination plays an essential role in the proper segregation of chromosomes at meiosis I in many sexually reproducing organisms.Meiotic recombination is initiated by the scheduled formation of genome-wide DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).The timing of DSB formation is strictly controlled because unscheduled DSB formation Classroom Desks i
