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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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% ...

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 ...

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 ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

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.

Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden made an unexpected discovery while investigating genetically unique women.
