Molecular characterization and expression analysis of SYCP1 and SYCP3 in hybrid fish derived from Megalobrama amblycephala × Culter alburnus by Jia Xu, Yuandong Sun, Chang Wu, Xiaojuan Cui, Yujing Li, Zhongwei Hua, Yifei Zhang

“…These findings suggested that BT and TB hybrids retained the stability of the SYCP1 and SYCP3 genes inherited from their heterozygous parental origins, supporting independent protein expression despite slight variations in the CDS structure. Our results demonstrate that the normal expression of key meiotic genes plays an important role in overcoming reproductive barriers in distant hybridization, which is of great significance for genetic breeding in fish.…”

A Contiguous Taltson‐Thelon Margin Revisited by J. A. Cutts, B. V. Dyck, M. G. Perrot, J. H. F. L. Davies, A. M. Osinchuk, D. Šilerová, R. A. Stern, M. Chiaradia, R. Canam

“…To understand the origin of the rocks in the GSLsz, we have applied U‐Pb geochronology, trace‐element geochemistry, and O and Hf isotope analyses to zircons from a suite of samples that transect the La Loche River fault (LRf)—a major structure that bisects the GSLsz. Samples collected to the north of the LRf are Neoarchean in age, have mantle‐like δ18O (4.7–5.8‰) and chondritic to juvenile εHf values (0–4.5), whereas those to the south are exclusively Paleoproterozoic in age and have more elevated δ18O (6.3–7‰) and much more evolved εHf values (−12 to −6); these results indicate that the LRf marks a crustal‐scale suture between the Slave craton and the Taltson magmatic zone. …”
