A new study reveals that -- contrary to decades of evolutionary thought -- chromosome regions that are prone to breakage when new species are formed are a rich source of genetic variation.

One Reason Why Chromosomes Break, Often Leading To Cancer Date: August 6, 2007 Source: Tufts University Summary: In the past 10 years, researchers in genome stability have observed that many kinds ...

LATELY, the property of the bacterial products in causing chromosome breakage has been worked out by certain authors1–5. Such results have been taken to indicate the mutagenic property of the ...

Preliminary observations of apparent dicentric chromosome breakage during anaphase initiated the widely held view that dicentrics cannot survive mitosis intact. Given relatively weak mitotic spindle ...
