1. Sex and the single chromosome / Victoria H. Meller and Mitzi I. Kuroda -- 2. Is x-chromosome inactivation a homology effect? / Jeannie T. Lee -- 3. Homologous chromosome associations and nuclear order in meiotic and mitotically dividing cells of budding yeast / Sean M. Burgess -- 4. The role of sequence homology in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks in drosophila / Gregory B. Gloor -- 5. The origins of genomic imprinting in mammals / Frank Sleutels and Denise P. Barlow -- 6. Genomic imprinting during seed development / C�elia Baroux, Charles Spillane, and Ueli Grossniklaus -- 7. Long-distance cis and trans interactions mediate paramutation / Vicki L.

Pickford ... [et al.] -- 10. Non-Mendelian inheritance and homology-dependent effects in ciliates / Eric Meyer and Olivier Garnier -- 11. RNAi (nematodes: Caenorhabditis elegans) / Alla Grishok and Craig Mello -- 12. Antisense RNAs in bacteria and their genetic elements / E. Gerhart H. Wagner, Shoshy Altuvia, and Pascale Romby -- 13. Transvection in drosophila / James A. Kennison and Jeffrey W. Southworth -- 14. Pairing-sensitive silencing, polycomb group response elements, and transposon homing in drosophila / Judith A. Kassis -- 15. Repeat-induced gene silencing in fungi / Eric U. Selker -- 16. The evolution of gene duplicates / Sarah P. Otto and Paul Yong -- 17. Prions of yeast as epigenetic phenomena: high protein "copy number" inducing protein "silencing" / Reed B. Wickner ... [et al.].

Summary: Homology Effects offers contributions from an international panel of researchers whose aim has been both to introduce newcomers to the field of homology effects, and to bring colleagues up to date. Topic coverage includes dosage compensation, X-inactivation, imprinting, paramutation, homology-dependent gene silencing, transvection, pairing-sensitive silencing, nuclear organization of chromosomes, DNA repair, quelling, RIP, RNAi and antisense biology, homology effects in ciliates, prion biology, and a discourse on the evolution of gene duplications. Advances in Genetics presents an eclectic mix.
