  • Transfer of LS chromosomes between otherwise genetically isolated strains explains the polyphyletic origin of host specificity and the emergence of new pathogenic lineages in F. oxysporum . (nature.com)
  • But because it's been so hard to analyze up to this point, we may not even know yet just how important the Y chromosome is. (nist.gov)
  • After considering the symptoms, a blood test is done to analyze the child's chromosomes. (medicinenet.com)
  • The study represents not only the first such study to analyze sex chromosome dosage compensation in turtles, but the findings also show that remarkably, temperature appears to affect the SCDC process in the turtles. (scitechdaily.com)
  • 3- 6 Phenotypic abnormalities seen in cases with apparently balanced chromosome rearrangements have usually been explained by the disruption of a gene at the breakpoint causing the loss of gene function. (bmj.com)

  • The study sheds light on how organisms have evolved to address such imbalances through a process called sex chromosome dosage compensation, or SCDC. (scitechdaily.com)
  • What is sex chromosome dosage compensation? (scitechdaily.com)
  • Sex chromosome dosage compensation comes into play for individuals who have mismatched sex chromosomes. (scitechdaily.com)
  • The 4q subtelomere harboring the FSHD locus is specifically anchored with peripheral heterochromatin unlike most human telomeres. (umassmed.edu)
  • That mismatch means they lack a second copy of the Z chromosome, unlike their male counterparts who have two Z chromosomes. (scitechdaily.com)

  • The sex-determining function lies entirely in interval 1A, inasmuch as most XX individuals with descended testes and normal male external genitalia carry this small region of the Y chromosome. (nih.gov)
  • By this technique, the gene coding for restin (RSN) was assigned to chromosome region 12q24.31→q24.33, while localization of the α-2-macroglobulin receptor (A2MR) was refined to 12q13.1→q13.3. (karger.com)
