Fitness Assays Reveal Incomplete Functional Redundancy of the HoxA1 and HoxB1 Paralogs of Mice.

abstract：:DNA amounts in macronuclei and micronuclei of Tetrahymena pyriformis were measured by Feulgen microspectrophotometry. Assuming that the unreplicated micronucleus is diploid, the unreplicated macronucleus was found to contain approximately 45 times the haploid DNA amount. The relationship of these findings to the 45 in...

Recognition of pollen by pistils expressing cognate specificities at two linked genes leads to rejection of self pollen and pollen from close relatives, i.e., to avoidance of self-fertilization and inbred matings, and thus increased outc...
