Chromosomal inversions are an important class of genetic variation that link multiple alleles together into a single inherited block that can have important effects on fitness. To study the role of ...

The 99.9% genome-sequence identity that is often ... reversed in orientation with respect to the rest of the chromosome. Pericentric inversions include the centromere, whereas paracentric ...

The University of Utah could lose $43.5 million this year in federal funding for medical research expenses — which support ...

In the coming years, an unprecedented number of people will leave planet Earth—but it’s becoming increasingly clear that deep ...

There are many body worries you might confess to your friends, from weight to bra size. But there's one part of their anatomy ...

Weaknesses: The evidence supporting a role for the chromosome 11 inversion and the chromosome 9 inversion in sex determination is based on relatively few individuals and therefore remains suggestive.

The most advanced engineering of human cell lines to date has been accomplished by scientists, demonstrating that genomes are more robust against significant structural changes than previously ...

The karyotypes were all 46xy, while two out of five patients had an inversion on chromosome 9. There were no Y chromosome microdeletions detected (table 1). Testicular biopsies were fixed in 4% ...

2013;13(6):601-611. In other situations, normal microarray analysis in the presence of an abnormal karyotype, such as marker chromosomes, is reassuring, as it indicates that the marker is lacking ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

The results are published in the journal New Phytologist. Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression.
