From:Science (Vol. 230) Peer-Reviewed
A human y-linked DNA polymorphism and its potential for estimating genetic and evolutionary distance
The application of restriction enzyme analysis and DNA recombinant technology to the study of human variation has uncovered a new class of genetic markers that are distributed among families and populations according to... -
From:Agricultural Research (Vol. 42, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedPlant geneticists at the University of Minnesota are using C-banding, a staining technique, to study oat genes. A black-and-white video camera attached to a microscope relays images to a computer monitor and the images...

From:Science (Vol. 284, Issue 5421) Peer-ReviewedA recent discovery that subunits of a large protein complex are related to the mitotic chromosome condensation and segregation machinery surprised researchers. The subunits are required for dosage compensation in...

From:Nature (Vol. 466, Issue 7306) Peer-ReviewedIn birds, as in mammals, one pair of chromosomes differs between the sexes. In birds, males are ZZ and females ZW. In mammals, males are XY and females XX. Like the mammalian XY pair, the avian ZW pair is believed to...

From:Journal of Biomedicine and BiotechnologyPeer-ReviewedPapaya is a major fruit crop in the tropics and has recently evolved sex chromosomes. Towards sequencing the papaya sex chromosomes, two bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries were constructed from papaya male...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedSex chromosomes stop recombining and accumulate differences over time. In particular, genes on the chromosome restricted to the heterogametic sex degenerate and become non-functional. Here, we investigated whether or...

From:Journal of Biomedicine and BiotechnologyPeer-ReviewedVariability among sex chromosome pairs in amniotes denotes a dynamic history. Since amniotes diverged from a common ancestor, their sex chromosome pairs and, more broadly, sex-determining mechanisms have changed...

From:Science (Vol. 288, Issue 5465) Peer-ReviewedA cell's nucleus represents a miracle of ordered packing, and the giant nuclei of larval Drosophila salivary glands provide a useful model to study chromosomal packing because they must accommodate giant polytene...

From:Science (Vol. 285, Issue 5425) Peer-ReviewedMany plants and animals are polyploid with more than two sets of chromosomes. Bananas are triploid and wheat is hexaploid. More than half of the flowering plant species are polyploid. Fewer animals are polyploid though...

From:Science (Vol. 224) Peer-ReviewedMetallothioneins (MT's) are cysteinerich, low molecular weight proteins that bind heavy metal ions including zinc, copper, cadmium, and mercury(1). They are believed to play a role in both heavy metal homeostasis and...

From:Science (Vol. 226) Peer-ReviewedA few specific chromosome sites tend to be expressed as gaps or breaks during routine human metaphase chromosome preparations (320 bands per haploid set). With the exception of sites 3p 14.2, 6q25.3, and 16q23.2, these...
