A study described the three-dimensional architecture of turtle genomes, which fold in a configuration unlike any other animal observed so far.

To avoid elimination, many B chromosomes influence cell division in their favour and increase their copy number in the process. This phenomenon is called chromosome drive. The “selfish” B chromosomes, ...
