Structural Variants and Speciation: Multiple Processes at Play
No full textResearch on the genomic architecture of speciation has increasingly revealed the importance of structural variants (SVs) that affect the presence, abundance, position, and/or direction of a nucleotide sequence. SVs include large chromosomal rearrangements such as fusion/fissions, inversions and translocations, as well as smaller variants such as duplications, insertions, and deletions (CNVs). Although we have ample evidence that SVs play a key role in speciation, the underlying mechanisms differ depending on the type and length of the SV, as well as the ecological, demographic and historical context. We review predictions and empirical evidence for classic processes such as underdominance due to meiotic aberrations and the coupling effect of recombination suppression before exploring how recent sequencing methodologies illuminate the prevalence and diversity of SVs. We discuss specific properties of SVs and their impact throughout the genome, highlighting that multiple processes are at play, and possibly interacting, in the relationship between SVs and speciation.Fil: Berdan, Emma L..

Enacting Ethnicity: Yiddishkeit Masked and Unmasked on the Contemporary American Stage
No full textTwo recent productions of American dramas employed provocative strategies for enacting Jewish ethnicity: National Asian American Theatre Company’s performance of Clifford Odets’s Awake and Sing! with an all-Asian American cast and New Yiddish Rep’s staging of Toyt fun a seylsman, a Yiddish translation of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Each production entails a different approach to performing Jewishness that exemplifies these companies’ respective artistic agendas regarding the enactment of ethnicity, resulting in complex performances of masking and unmasking Jewishness. Moreover, their analysis illuminates how ethnicity is conceptualized and realized in the United States in the early decades of the twenty-first century. Yiddish appears strategically, if often obliquely, in the histories of composition, production, and reception for both dramas, emblematic of shifting notions of enacting ethnicity.Peer reviewe
An Ethnographer in Poland: On Experience as a Mode of Engaging Jewishness
No full textMuseums have become especially prominent sites of Jewish experience—not only in Poland but elsewhere, including cities with large Jewish populations—as permanent and very publicly visible institutions. Their presence looms large despite the fact that many, if not most, people will visit a given museum only once, spending an hour or two there. Given its scope and salience, the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is poised to become the keystone in the arch of Polish Jewish experience
