He is also a PAG committee member and co-organizer for plants. His research is focused on genetics and epigenetics of plant centromere, diplodization mechanism for polyploid wheat, and wide hybridization for wheat Furarium breeding.
Michael Lampson, PhD, Department of Biology, University of Pennsylvania, USA
Michael Lampson is a Professor of Biology and cell biologist at the University of Pennsylvania. His research group focuses on chromosome segregation and cell division, centromere function and inheritance in the germline, cell biology of meiotic drive, and evolution of centromere proteins.
Barbara Mellone, PhD, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Connecticut, USA
Barbara Mellone is a Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut. Her research centers on the complexities of centromere specification, assembly, and inheritance, employing a comprehensive approach that integrates cell biology, molecular techniques, and genomic analysis in Drosophila.
This Collection welcomes submission of original Research, Method, Short Report, Review, and Database article types. Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you have read our submission guidelines.
To submit your manuscript to this Collection, please use our online submission system and indicate in your covering letter that you would like the article to be considered for inclusion in the "Centromere structure and evolution" Collection.
All articles submitted to Collections are peer reviewed in line with the journal’s standard peer review policy and are subject to all of the journal’s standard editorial and publishing policies. This includes the journal’s policy on competing interests.
The Guest Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editor or Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
