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 ...
Recombining regions of sex chromosomes, pseudoautosomal regions (PARs), are essential for proper segregation of the sex chromosome pair during meiosis. Yet, the evolutionary dynamics of PARs remain ...
By examining thousands of genomes along with fragments of ancient chromosomes, researchers uncovered the intricate journey of ...
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 ...
Newswise — Most plant genome assemblies are haploid representations—they collapse two distinct parental chromosomes into a single, chimeric sequence. For highly heterozygous, clonally propagated crops ...
A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and collaborating institutions. The team identified extensive recombination ...
A survey of 19 natural populations reveals that the midge Chironomus agilis, long considered chromosomally uniform, harbors ...
