A team of researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has discovered that transposons, small DNA sequences that travel through the genomes, can silence the genes adjacent to them by ...
The fixation of major chromosomal inversions is modelled for populations with genetic variance in fitness caused by the segregation of many genes, such that most new inversions have a heterozygote ...
Unlocking the genetic secrets of cabbage: key inversions suppress recombination for crop improvement
Recent study has uncovered the pivotal role of chromosomal inversions in suppressing recombination and preserving key genotypes in cabbage. This discovery is set to revolutionize our understanding of ...

How chromosomes shape up for cell division: Scientists reveal DNA loop formation mechanisms
Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...
