Translocations are usually detected when a cytogeneticist examines a karyotype, which is an ordered arrangement of an individual's metaphase chromosomes. In standard karyotypes, chromosomes that ...

the concept of linear gene arrangement along strands of DNA has held up over other models. Even though chromosomes are highly compacted due to supercoiling, at the level of DNA, genes are arranged ...

This odd arrangement, the authors found, influences the three-dimensional structure of the entire chromosome. “This is definitely a breakthrough within the field. We’ve been generating assemblies for ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Large-scale structural features of chromosomes including the arrangement of important chromosomal sites (origins, termini and centromeres) and overall chromosome compactness change dramatically and ...

The male echidna has five X chromosomes, but only four Y chromosomes ... the genetic events that led to this remarkable ...

The research conducted in this project was aimed at investigating the genes responsible for the various mental faculties and to explore the spatial arrangement of the human genome, hopefully providing ...
