Our study has found that the accumulation of structural variations in the proximal region of the centromere significantly reduces the number of cross-recombinations between varieties, which will ...

Each chromosome has two arms, named p and q. These two arms are joined at a structure called the centromere. A translocation chromosome mutation can be of two types — reciprocal and Robertsonian.

Using a similar bioinformatics approach, we next screened for Loss of Function (LoF) variants in the inner kinetochore constitutive centromere associated network (CCAN). We show how six LoF variants ...

These insights enhance knowledge of polyploid centromere diversity and evolution in Solanaceae species. The near-complete genome of hexaploid wild oat, along with 117 global wild and cultivated ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

Background: Previous studies have suggested an increased risk of cancer among patients with scleroderma. Objective: To study a population based cohort of patients with scleroderma in South Australia.
