Researchers found that compared with the group taking the placebo, those taking vitamin D supplements had reduced telomere shortening over four years. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, on the other hand, had no obvious effect on telomere length.

There will be a 80-minute open-call symposium (a parallel session) on

"Genome Alignments: Are We Ready to Unravel Evolution Across the Tree of Life?"

at the #MBSJ2025 (#Molecular #Biology Society of #Japan) #conference, also known as "#Bunsei", in #Yokohama on December 3rd; I am co-organiser with Martin Frith. We have a couple of slots left for 10~15 min talks with a the possibility of partial support for international speakers. We are on a mission that no gender should be over-represented, and you surely can guess which one is at the moment.

Here is the symposium abstract: #Chromosome-scale and complete #genome #assemblies are becoming available for organisms across the whole #TreeofLife. Genome #alignments empower studies that cover #evolutionary scales from thousands to billions of years. This symposium will present the latest biological insights obtained from genome alignments as well as new methods, software and pipelines.

Please contact me at my work email if you have some results that fit well and you would like to present! Here is the URL to the conference website.

Are #autophagy-related proteins involved in #GenomeStability? This study shows that Atg11 has an essential non-canonical function in error-free #chromosome segregation via the Kar9-dependent spindle positioning pathway @PLOSBiology plos.io/4lfbeP1

Schematic of the findings. This study reveals two distinct pools of Atg11 in S. cerevisiae. A lower proportion of Atg11 which is less dynamic canonically localizes at the pre-autophagosomal structures (PAS) onto the vacuolar membrane, necessary for selective autophagy and dependent on actin. While the more dynamic Atg11 localizes at the SPBs in a higher proportion which is critical for high-fidelity chromosome segregation. The asymmetric Kar9 localization together with the dynamic instability of MTs is crucial for pre-anaphase spindle positioning and alignment, and chromosome biorientation. Before anaphase onset, aMTs are unstable and cyclin Clb4 levels are high. The mono-oriented kinetochores have defective tension, leading to the activation of Ipl1. Ipl1 carries out the disassembly of defective kinetochore-MT attachments via phosphorylation and activates SAC. SAC delays anaphase onset until biorientation is achieved. Upon biorientation, SAC is silenced, Pds1 gets degraded, separase is activated, and Cdc14 is released from the nucleolus via the FEAR pathway leading to proper sister chromatid separation. APC-C/Cdc20 also degrades Clb4 upon anaphase onset crucial for the stability of aMTs. Atg11 ensures asymmetric localization of both Spc72 and Kar9 at the dSPB, critical for non-random SPB inheritance.

In a new study of dioicy–monoicy transitions in an ancient #liverwort haploid-dominant plant lineage, Fu et al. find evidence for #evolution of a new #sex #chromosome within the haploid-dominant Marchantiales.🔓👇

Annotated phylogenetic lineage illustrates genomic evidence suggesting that sex chromosomes may not be conserved within liverworts. Re-evolution of dioicy in the genus Riccia may have occurred with probable de novo establishment of a new sex chromosome from the autosome, and the m-chromosomes have evolved independently from chromosomes in the Marchantiales.
