Island ecosystems have emerged as vital model systems for evolutionary and speciation studies due to their unique environmental conditions and biodiversity. This study investigates the population divergence, hybridization dynamics, and evolutionary history of hybridizing golden-backed and red-backed flameback woodpeckers on the island of Sri Lanka, providing insights into speciation processes within an island biogeographic context. Utilizing genomic analysis based on next-generation sequencing, we revealed that the hybrid zone on this island is a complex three-way hybrid zone involving three genetically distinct populations: two cryptic populations of golden-backed in the north and one island-endemic red-backed population of in the south of Sri Lanka.

Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1)::RUNX1 partner transcriptional co-repressor 1 (RUNX1T1) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a subtype of acute leukemia primarily classified as French American British M2. RUNX1::RUNX1T1 transcript is formed by a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 8q22 and 21q22. However, we encountered a case of AML that showed molecular positivity for RUNX1::RUNX1T1 fusion transcript but exhibited cytogenetically atypical translocation t(6;8).

Ewing sarcomas (ES) are rare small round cell sarcomas often affecting children and characterized by gene fusions involving one member of the FET family of genes (usually and a member of the ETS family of transcription factors (usually or ). The detection of rearrangements has important diagnostic value. Here, we conducted a retrospective review of 218 consecutive pediatric ES at diagnosis and found eight patients having data from chromosome analysis, FISH/microarray, and gene-fusion assay.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents a heterogeneous disease entity that is continuously moving to a more genetically defined classification. The classification of AML with recurrent chromosomal translocations, including those involving core binding factor subunits, plays a critical role in diagnosis, prognosis, treatment stratification, and residual disease evaluation. Accurate classification of variant cytogenetic rearrangements in AML contributes to effective clinical management.

About 25% of the patients with the translocation t(11;19)(q23;p13.3)/KMT2A-MLLT1 present three-way or more complex fusions, associated with a worse prognosis, suggesting that a particular mechanism creates functional KMT2A fusions for this condition. In this work, we show a cryptic three-way translocation t(9;11;19).
