Non-recurrent CNVs frequently show microhomology at their end-points, and can have a complex structure. The locus-specific mutation frequencies for copy number variation and other structural ...

FIGURE 2. Trypanosoma brucei Homologous Recombination VSG Switching. VSG Switching by homologous recombination in T. brucei occurs through gene conversion. This can occur by exchanging a VSG gene into ...

The evidence suggesting that changes in stiffness are independent of cohesin, which is known to deteriorate with age, is still incomplete. Chromosome structure is complex, and many aspects of its ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

This valuable paper describes the stiffness of meiotic chromosomes in both oocytes and spermatocytes. The authors identify differences in stiffness between meiosis I and II chromosomes, as well as an ...

Breeding new eggplant varieties with non-prickly calyx requires the characterization of the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying this complex agronomic trait, while the map-based gene cloning ...

SAN FRANCISCO — A genetic coin toss that happens before birth might influence how women’s brains age decades later. A study from the University of California San Francisco reveals that women ...
