Comparative Analysis of Satellite DNA in the Drosophila melanogaster Species Complex
- Madhav Jagannathan, Natalie Warsinger-Pepe, George J Watase, Y. Yamashita
- Biology, Medicine
- G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics
- 22 December 2016
Satellite DNAs are highly repetitive sequences that account for the majority of constitutive heterochromatin in many eukaryotic genomes. It is widely recognized that sequences and locations of… Expand
A conserved function for pericentromeric satellite DNA
- Madhav Jagannathan, Ryan Cummings, Y. Yamashita
- Biology, Medicine
- eLife
- 26 March 2018
A universal and unquestioned characteristic of eukaryotic cells is that the genome is divided into multiple chromosomes and encapsulated in a single nucleus. However, the underlying mechanism to… Expand
Function of Junk: Pericentromeric Satellite DNA in Chromosome Maintenance.
- Madhav Jagannathan, Y. Yamashita
- Biology, Medicine
- Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative…
- 2017
Satellite DNAs are simple tandem repeats that exist at centromeric and pericentromeric regions on eukaryotic chromosomes. Unlike the centromeric satellite DNA that comprises the vast majority of… Expand
The modular mechanism of chromocenter formation in Drosophila
- Madhav Jagannathan, Ryan Cummings, Y. Yamashita
- Biology, Medicine
- eLife
- 11 February 2019
A central principle underlying the ubiquity and abundance of pericentromeric satellite DNA repeats in eukaryotes has remained poorly understood. Previously we proposed that the interchromosomal… Expand

Evolution Repeats Itself in Building a Species Barrier.
- Madhav Jagannathan, Y. Yamashita
- Biology, Medicine
- Developmental cell
- 3 December 2018
Exploring the mechanisms that cause hybrid incompatibility can illuminate divergent genomic elements between species that may otherwise be cryptic. Recent work shows that uniparental chromosome… Expand

The modular mechanism of chromocenter formation in Drosophila
- Madhav Jagannathan, Ryan Cummings, Y. Yamashita
- Biology
- 28 November 2018
A central principle underlying the ubiquity and abundance of pericentromeric satellite DNA repeats in eukaryotes has remained poorly understood. In our previous study (Jagannathan et al., 2018), we… Expand
Functional Characterization of the MCM Complex Binding Protein, MCM-BP
- Madhav Jagannathan
- Chemistry
- 21 July 2014
Complete and accurate DNA replication is essential to maintain the genetic integrity in all organisms. In eukaryotes, the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex forms the catalytic core of the CMG… Expand
