  • In Specific Aim 2, the minimal tiling path of BAC clones encompassing five alleles will be sequenced and a variation map containing all the insertions, deletions or inversions as well as nucleotide polymorphisms, will be generated. (elsevierpure.com)
  • At least three distinct meiotic drive alleles, one on each S. kambucha chromosome, independently contribute to hybrid infertility by causing nonrandom spore death. (elifesciences.org)
  • Similar to ph2 mutant phenotype, we show that mutating MSH7-3D induces a substantial increase in homoeologous recombination (up to 5.5 fold) in wheat-wild relative hybrids, which is also associated with a reduction in homologous recombination. (nature.com)
  • The phenotype of the L1 mutant mouse indicates that it is a potentially valuable model for the human CRASH syndrome. (jneurosci.org)
  • It directed to the development of 2 new types of phenotype: yellowish seeds along with blue green sleek. (smokeoilsalt.com)
  • Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying Y chromosome-related diseases can have a significant impact on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. (biomedcentral.com)
  • if immediate recombination does not occur, these can manifest as some type of molecular, cellular, or organic system alteration. (cdc.gov)
  • Unlike non- ionizing radiation (such as microwaves and ultraviolet radiation), which has insufficient energy to eject molecular electrons, ionizing radiation deposits sufficient energy to remove electrons from atomic orbits and create molecular ion pairs along particle tracks. (cdc.gov)
  • The future of molecular cytogenetics is likely to depend on a better knowledge of chromosome structure and function. (biomedcentral.com)
  • One of the purposes of this review is to encourage research into chromosome structure as this could help advance molecular cytogenetics. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Attention is paid to their length, the position of the centromeres, banding pattern, any differences between the sex chromosomes, and any other physical characteristics. (wikipedia.org)
  • Mammalian Y chromosome originated from an ancestral autosome about 300 million years ago is a degenerated X-chromosome [ 16 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Studies demonstrated that the Y chromosome is not a 'genetic wasteland' and can be a useful genetic marker for interpreting various male-specific physiological and pathophysiological characteristics. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The mechanisms of transmission of both discontinuous and continuous characteristics across the generations were unknown before Mendel's laws were explained at the turn of the 20th Century by the behavior of chromosomes in germ cells [ 2 , 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In other words, gene is the DNA segment of the chromosome and it controls the expression of characteristics. (icsesolutions.com)
  • Independent Partner of distinct pairs of characteristics lets you readily figure out the method of their dividing from di - and - polyhydric spans, and since they're centered on formulas that are simple monohybrid crossing. (smokeoilsalt.com)
  • The events that have led to the development of cytogenetics as a specialty within the life sciences are described, with special attention to the early history of human cytogenetics. (biomedcentral.com)
  • About 95% of the Y chromosome is composed of the male-specific region of the Y chromosome (MSY), and the other 5% is two pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) in two ends of this chromosome (Fig. 1 ). (biomedcentral.com)
  • Consequently, PAR1 of humans and great apes is a small genomic region evolving under a concentration of strong population genetic forces. (biomedcentral.com)
  • this process, called "ionization," is the source of the term "ionizing radiation" (see Chapter 2). (cdc.gov)
  • Such regions might serve as recombination hotspots responsible for NAHR events. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Thus, we contend that wild mice present an untapped opportunity for developing new mouse models of human disease and advancing new biomedical discoveries. (jax.org)

  • Since the genetic code was deciphered much has been learnt about the chromosome structure shared by all organisms from yeast to human. (biomedcentral.com)
  • These results are consistent with the hypothesis that minimum efficient processing segments, which have been characterized in Escherichia coli, yeast, and cultured mammalian cells, may be required for efficient homologous meiotic recombination in humans. (nih.gov)
  • Although sex hormones play a key role in sex differences in susceptibility, severity, outcomes, and response to therapy of different diseases, sex chromosomes are also increasingly recognized as an important factor. (biomedcentral.com)
