Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are the earliest identifiable neoplastic lesions in the colon. Thirty-two ACFs were examined for genomic instability in forms detectable either by inter-(simple sequence repeat) PCR or by array comparative genomic hybridization [array-CGH]. One-fourth of ACFs revealed moderate instability by inter-(simple sequence repeat) PCR; none showed amplifications or deletions on array-CGH. The absence of genomic events detectible by BAC array-CGH indicates early events in colorectal tumor progression are typically smaller than the approximate 150 kb size of a BAC clone insert.

The MSH7 protein is a binding partner of MSH2 forming the MutSγ complex. This complex contributes to the plant mismatch repair (MMR) system by recognizing DNA base-base mismatches. Here, we evaluated the impact of MSH7 on genetic diversity of the tenth generation (G) of wild type and MSH7 deficient Arabidopsis thaliana plants before and after two days exposure to 100 mM NaCl.

Biological invasions pose substantial threats to global biodiversity, agriculture, and ecological stability. Among these, intraspecific cryptic invasions, characterized by the spread of nonnative genotypes within a species, present unique challenges for detection and management. Despite the well-documented influence of invasive ants on ecosystems, instances of intraspecific cryptic ant invasions have rarely been documented.
