TL;DR: The inheritance of 5-methylcytosine residues at a centromere-linked locus in the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus was examined and it was found that the higher levels of methylation at this locus were transmitted through meiosis, regardless of the level ofmethylation of the homologous chromosome.

TL;DR: The mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea is a classic experimental model for multicellular development in fungi because it grows on defined media, completes its life cycle in 2 weeks, produces some 108 synchronized meiocytes, and can be manipulated at all stages in development by mutation and transformation.

TL;DR: The range of karyotypes observed in fungi indicates that many karyotypic changes may be genetically neutral, at least under some conditions.

TL;DR: Ionizing radiation can partially rescue spo11‐1 for both AE and SC formation and viable spore production, suggesting that the double‐strand break function of Spo11 is conserved and is required for these functions.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the ovalbumin genes appear to be organized by chromatin proteins in such a way that they are rendered exceedingly sensitive to digestion by DNase I, and suggest that the maintenance of an active conformation about specific genes does not reflect the polymerase distribution about these genes.
