  • Two copies of chromosome 7, one copy inherited from each parent, form one of the pairs. (medlineplus.gov)
  • One of the earliest events is the increased copy number of 12p, either as 1 or more copies of i(12p)-an isochromosome of the short arm of chromosome 12-or as tandem duplications of chromosome arm 12p. (medscape.com)
  • Chromosome 7 spans about 159 million DNA building blocks (base pairs) and represents more than 5 percent of the total DNA in cells. (medlineplus.gov)
  • To examine the involvement of executioner caspases in hyperthermia-induced cell-death in a poikilotherm vertebrate species, five genes encoding caspase-3,-6, and -7 were cloned from Atlantic salmon, and the expression was studied in thermal stressed salmon embryos. (nofima.no)
  • In this study, we developed microsatellite markers for nine endangered amphibian species endemic to Ryukyu Islands in Japan. (nii.ac.jp)
  • Currently, my main research activities include studies of mating-system and floral evolution in the neotropical vine Dalechampia, and studies of the role of species interactions in structuring the spatial and temporal dynamics of communities. (lu.se)
  • Therefore, our study systems often include multiple plant- and insect species that form small interaction networks. (lu.se)
