[HTML][HTML] Condensins regulate meiotic DNA break distribution, thus crossover frequency, by controlling chromosome structure

DG Mets, BJ Meyer - Cell, 2009 - cell.com
Meiotic crossover (CO) recombination facilitates evolution and accurate chromosome
segregation. CO distribution is tightly regulated: homolog pairs receive at least one CO, CO …

RTEL-1 enforces meiotic crossover interference and homeostasis

JL Youds, DG Mets, MJ McIlwraith, JS Martin, JD Ward… - Science, 2010 - science.org
Meiotic crossovers (COs) are tightly regulated to ensure that COs on the same chromosome
are distributed far apart (crossover interference, COI) and that at least one CO is formed per …

Meiotic crossover number and distribution are regulated by a dosage compensation protein that resembles a condensin subunit

CJ Tsai, DG Mets, MR Albrecht, P Nix… - Genes & …, 2008 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Biological processes that function chromosome-wide are not well understood. Here, we
show that the Caenorhabditis elegans protein DPY-28 controls two such processes, X-…

Genetic variation interacts with experience to determine interindividual differences in learned song

DG Mets, MS Brainard - Proceedings of the National …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Learning reflects the influence of experience on genetically determined circuitry, but little is
known about how experience and genetics interact to determine complex learned …

Learning is enhanced by tailoring instruction to individual genetic differences

DG Mets, MS Brainard - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
Mets and Brainard have therefore taken a new approach by … By swapping eggs between
nests, Mets and Brainard show that … To control for this possibility, Mets and Brainard played …

[HTML][HTML] An automated approach to the quantitation of vocalizations and vocal learning in the songbird

DG Mets, MS Brainard - PLoS computational biology, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Studies of learning mechanisms critically depend on the ability to accurately assess learning
outcomes. This assessment can be impeded by the often complex, multidimensional nature …

Draft genome assembly of the Bengalese finch, Lonchura striata domestica, a model for motor skill variability and learning

BM Colquitt, DG Mets, MS Brainard - GigaScience, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Background Vocal learning in songbirds has emerged as a powerful model for sensorimotor
learning. Neurobehavioral studies of Bengalese finch (Lonchura striata domestica) song, …

Purpose As part of an ongoing effort at Arcadia to enable high-throughput image-based
comparisons, we need adaptable ways to capture and record the behavior of motile single-…

[HTML][HTML] Phenotypic differences between interfertile Chlamydomonas species

…, G Garcia III, CD MacQuarrie, DQ Matus, DG Mets… - 2023 - research.arcadiascience.com
Purpose We're working to understand the associations between genotypes and phenotypes
across the tree of life. Analyzing variation among interbreeding populations is a powerful …

[HTML][HTML] Harnessing genotype-phenotype nonlinearity to accelerate biological prediction

P Avasthi, DG Mets, R York - 2023 - research.arcadiascience.com
Purpose A core focus of genetics is understanding the relationship between genetic variation
(genotypes) and biological traits (phenotypes). Efforts as diverse as tracing the evolution of …
