Furthermore, it justifies the geometry of chromosome bands and translocations observed in cytogenetic analyses, and is ...

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.

Aula, P. Virus-associated chromosome breakage: cytogenetic study of chickenpox, measles, and mumps patients and of cell cultures injected with measles virus. Ann. Acad.

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 ...

They found that sometime since the creeping vole split from its closest relatives, it lost its Y chromosome. The steps that it took to make that happen are still mysterious, Campbell said, but the ...

Comparative chromosome study finds breakage trends, cancer ties Peer-Reviewed Publication. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, News Bureau ...

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 ...

When chromatin is trapped at the intercellular bridge, cells delay completion of cytokinesis (abscission) to prevent chromosome breakage. Here we show that inhibition of Cdc-like kinases (Clks) 1 ...

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 ...
