The Spectraplakin Short Stop (Shot) Organizes an Acentrosomal Microtubule Network in Early Oogenesis, Essential for Nuclear Positioning.

This study identifies a non-centrosomal microtubule-organizing center (ncMTOC) in Drosophila oocytes that is essential for nuclear positioning during early oogenesis.

The Nucleoporin MLP1 of the nuclear basket is essential for nuclear integrity and ploidy maintenance in Trypanosoma brucei

This study shows that MLP1, a nuclear pore complex protein in Trypanosoma brucei, is essential for nuclear integrity, mRNA export, and genome stability by maintaining proper chromosome segregation and ploidy.

High throughput single-cell genome sequencing gives insights into the generation andevolution of mosaic aneuploidy in Leishmania donovani

The paper uses high throughput single-cell genome sequencing to study mosaic aneuploidy in Leishmania donovani, finding rapid karyotype changes and chromosome-specific adaptations.

Exploring the evolution and adaptive role of mosaic aneuploidy in a clonal Leishmania donovani population using high throughput single-cell genome sequencing

This paper uses high-throughput single-cell genome sequencing to analyze karyotype variation in a clonal Leishmania donovani population, revealing mosaic aneuploidy and its potential adaptive role.
