Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro ...

Inversion. A segment of DNA that is reversed in orientation with respect to the rest of the chromosome. Pericentric inversions include the centromere, whereas paracentric inversions do not.

A single gene in the shorebird species known as ruffs controls the levels of testosterone in males, and this in turn affects ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

We have identified an extended family where the proband, a child with moderate intellectual disability as well as severe conduct disturbance, was found to have a pericentric inversion of chromosome 3.

we used long-read technologies to identify four single and two tandem inversions that span half of each respective chromosome, and which together encompass over 10% of the genome. Each inversion is ...

Having a parent or sibling with diabetes does mean you are more likely to develop it yourself. But diabetes isn't just caused by genetics. Having a relative with the disease doesn't guarantee you will ...

The results are published in the journal New Phytologist. Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression.

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Indeed, different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have ...

Skies were clear to partly cloudy. High pressure will dominate our weather through Thursday, bringing stronger inversions in the western valleys. That means fog and air stagnation will be increasing ...
