Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in ...
The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has ...
A novel approach that combines DNA template strand sequencing (Strand-seq) with a newly developed software package, Invert.R, can map and genotype putative inversions genome-wide in an untargeted ...
Balanced chromosome aberrations in leukemias following chemotherapy with DNA-topoisomerase II inhibitors. An inv(16)(p13q22) was observed in only two of 180 cases of t-MDS and t-AML in Copenhagen and ...
For decades, the Y chromosome – one of the two human sex chromosomes – has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...
A new application of the CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors promises progress in crop cultivation. Researchers have succeeded in modifying the sequence of genes on a chromosome using CRISPR/Cas. For the ...
Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...
