  • Despite the nearly 150 million years of evolution separating mice and humans, these 'humanized' mice were completely fertile. (ox.ac.uk)
  • The result is that in many different hybrid mice, asymmetric PRDM9 binding is associated with an increasing failure rate in chromosomes making contact correctly, leading to more and more fertility problems. (ox.ac.uk)

  • Surprisingly, the nup2Δ ndj1Δ double mutant failed to segregate chromosomes, even though the meiotic program continued. (biorxiv.org)
  • The terminal regions of human chromosomes are known to contain specialised DNA sequences and may be vulnerable to rearrangements causing human genetic diseases and particularly idiopathic mental impairment. (bmj.com)
  • This is the process we have studied most intensively, but we are also interested in an alternative process known as break-induced replication (BIR), where only one end of a chromosome break locates a template sequence and assembles a complete replication fork and can copy sequences to the end of a chromosome, producing a nonreciprocal translocation. (brandeis.edu)
  • The pseudoautosomal regions, PAR1 and PAR2 are homologous sequences of nucleotides on the X and Y chromosomes where recombination takes place between both sex chromosomes. (ukbiobank.ac.uk)
  • Frontiers in Human Dynamics. (lu.se)
  • Both homologous recombination, in which the ends of the broken DNA seek out intact templates with the same sequence, and nonhomologous end-joining pathways are found in Saccharomyces as they are in humans. (brandeis.edu)
  • It is thought that identifying these statistical associations and a few alleles of a specific haplotype sequence can facilitate identifying all other such polymorphic sites that are nearby on the chromosome. (wikipedia.org)
  • Drivers and models of chromosome evolution, sex determination and breeding systems, extrachromosomal inheritance and epigenetics. (aber.ac.uk)

  • To this end, we wish to examine common variants on the pseudoautosomal regions of the sex chromosomes associate with the risk of common diseases. (ukbiobank.ac.uk)
  • All chromosomes normally appear as an amorphous blob under the microscope and only take on a well-defined shape during mitosis. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is entirely coincidental that the Y chromosome, during mitosis, has two very short branches which can look merged under the microscope and appear as the descender of a Y-shape. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the 1980's, a seminal paper by Duke colleague Tom Petes demonstrated recombination could occur across the centromeres in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but some attributed the finding to a quirk of the favored model organism with its tiny point centromeres. (phys.org)
  • Since the recombination we have been talking about happens in the egg or sperm, this means the recombined chromosomes end up in someone's children. (thetech.org)
  • Now as I also said, DNA swapping or recombination happens when an egg or sperm is being made. (thetech.org)
  • And in the resulting meiotic malfunction, the identical sister chromosomes began to synapse instead. (medindia.net)
  • We demonstrate that (i) F1 hybrids are highly heterozygous with nearly all chromosomes participating in the formation of trivalents at the first meiotic division, and (ii) that from F1 to F4 the number of trivalents decreases and the number of bivalents increases. (frontiersin.org)
  • We think that the symmetric marking of chromosomes by PRDM9 facilitates their pairing: where PRDM9 binding is very asymmetric, this leads to difficulties in pairing, failure in recombination repair and, at one extreme, the infertility we see in some mouse hybrids', says Professor Donnelly. (ox.ac.uk)
  • We have identified chromosomes with a xi 2-xi 1 rather than a xi 2-psi xi 1 arrangement by genomic mapping and oligonucleotide analysis. (ox.ac.uk)

  • The data from this project will help to improve understanding of the role of the sex chromosomes in susceptibility to common disorders with a potential to develop stratified approaches to prediction and therapy. (ukbiobank.ac.uk)
  • But even this Bill of Rights may be inadequate to cope with rapid developments further down the line, such as human cloning, cell and tissue replacement and embryonic stem cell techniques. (i-sis.org.uk)
  • Instead, recombination has allowed new genetic combinations that result in more variation making every human genetically unique. (exploringnature.org)
  • Then, known segments of the marked chromosomes (which can contain very small fragments of DNA) are cloned in plasmids . (learner.org)
  • These segments of low-frequency recombination will eventually recombine like others do but it will take many, many generations. (sciencedaily.com)
