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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Evolution of chromosome complements can be resolved by genome sequencing, comparative genetic mapping, and comparative chromosome painting.

Chromosomal breaks are the most harmful damage for cells. If they are not repaired, they block the duplication and segregation of chromosomes, stop the growth cycle and cause cell death. These breaks ...
