Alaska Department of Fish and Game updated the advisory board on mule-deer translocations to the southern Kachemak Bay area: 19 deer moved last year with only five surviving a year later; this year crews released nine animals (2 bucks, 7 does) after removing one for disease concerns.

Nowadays the use of forest reproductive material (FRM) is carefully regulated, but from the 18th century until few decades ago undocumented large-scal…

BACKGROUND: Short-read genome sequencing generates the signal necessary to detect balanced reciprocal translocations at single-nucleotide resolution, but standard structural variant callers represent them as breakend pairs. Structural variant callers produce thousands of breakend records per genome, the majority of which are false positives arising from segmental duplications, repetitive elements, and reference assembly artifacts. This specificity problem has prevented balanced translocation...

Abstract. In contrast to the extensively studied translocation of large sections of DNA between chromosomes, this paper investigates the translocation of i

A CRISPR–Cas9 strategy targeting centromeric repeats reconfigures up to 11 wheat chromosomes in one generation and yields heritable reciprocal translocations.

Neuroblastoma is a heterogeneous pediatric cancer whose behavior is shaped by diverse genomic alterations. While previous genomic studies have identified recurrent drivers and mutational processes, whether large-scale genome architecture actively contributes to defining tumor states has not yet been fully investigated. How translocations and inversions integrate somatic instability, transcriptional programs and inherited susceptibility in neuroblastoma has not been systematically explored. Here,...

Beaver (Castor fiber) translocations are accelerating across Britain as part of nature restoration efforts. While research on beaver effects on ecosystem services in Britain has progressed, our und...

Balanced Robertsonian translocation (ROB) is the most common chromosomal rearrangement in humans, with an estimated occurrence of 1 in 800 in newborn studies. Carriers are at increased risk of cancer ...

Flores ([email protected]); Susan Holmes, ([email protected]) (202) 329-1553 DENVER, CO — October 13, 2026 — The Endangered Species Coalition welcomes Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s shift to a more conservative, case-by-case approach to lethal wolf removals following livestock conflicts. The announcement follows growing concerns about wolf deaths, disease detection, and the Trump administration’s decision to block additional wolf translocations in 2025. “The decision to treat the success of the Colorado Wolf Restoration program with the appropriate sense of urgency is welcome,” said Ryan Sedgeley, Southern Rockies Representative for the Endangered Species Coalition. “Along with the threats the program has faced in Colorado, including poaching, wolves killed by CPW, and now disease, the Trump Administration has launched an all-out attack on wolves which threatens the recovery of the species.” While CPW’s shift is encouraging, the Coalition maintains that a conservative approach should have been in place from the beginning. The agency must go further and implement a moratorium on all lethal wolf control. Recent killings of yearling wolves by CPW, without establishing that those individual animals were responsible for livestock losses, underscore the need for change. Retaliatory killing is not a scientifically sound strategy for preventing future conflicts...

By defining centromere haplogroups from rare k-mer variation, Shiraishi et al. uncover extensive hidden diversity and link centromere structure to human evolution and disease-associated genomic instability.
