An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Chromosome breakage has most frequently been described after radiation exposure, either in vivo or on in vitro exposure of leukocyte cultures. 23–25 Structural chromosome abnormalities in ...

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.

The chromosomes in cultured leukocytes of one-year-old children with congenital rubella and normal children of the same age were compared. An increased frequency of chromosomal breakage was found ...

The site lies in the middle of a tumor suppressor gene and chromosome breakage in this area is highly associated with cancer. "It is an area that has a tumor suppressor gene -- a gene whose ...

Expression and suppression In the creeping vole, the Y chromosome may be gone, but its genes remain, clinging to the X chromosomes — even in females, the researchers found.

Breakages in chromosomes in mammalian evolution have occurred at preferred rather than random sites as long thought, and many of the sites are involved in human cancers, an international team of ...

LATELY, the property of the bacterial products in causing chromosome breakage has been worked out by certain authors 1–5. Such results have been taken to indicate the mutagenic property of the ...

Dicentric chromosomes, or chromosomes with two centromeres, can be destabilized during mitosis by making attachments to opposite spindle poles. Preliminary observations of apparent dicentric ...
