Our own modeling backs this paper up. There are more mathematical paths to speciation in a holobiont setting when we run the equations or the lab experiments. Strict, host-centric models put the blinders on to biological reality and potential. Great piece.

How are mitotic chromosomes built? Our Review @cp-trendsgenetics.bsky.social revisits the classical chromosome scaffold model and connects it to condensins, topoIIα, and physical forces. We propose interphase chromatin domains as “building blocks”🧩of chromosomes: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nmwrcQbJI...
