Chromosome Segregation Is Biased by Kinetochore Size [PDF]

, 2018
Chromosome missegregation during mitosis or meiosis is a hallmark of cancer and the main cause of prenatal death in humans. The gain or loss of specific chromosomes is thought to be random, with cell viability being essentially determined by selection ...

Kaelin Rapport - Histological Techniques for the Sex Determination of Skeletonized Human Remains [PDF]

, 2014
Determining the sex of skeletons is problematic in forensic and bio-archaeological research. Past studies demonstrate that bone cells can sometimes contain preserved sex chromosomal material in ancient samples. The sex chromosomes in skeletal remains may

An ultra-dense linkage map identified quantitative trait loci corresponding to fruit quality- and size-related traits in red goji berry

Frontiers in Plant Science
Goji berries are a small-fruited shrub with industrial importance whose fruit considered beneficial in both fresh and dried forms. Current germplasms of goji berries include small fruits with a short shelf life, less sweet and bitter taste, and a lack of

The Status of Telomerase Enzyme Activity in Benign and Malignant Gynaecologic Pathologies

Balkan Medical Journal, 2013
Background: Telomeres are essential for the function and stability of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomerase consists of three subunits: human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), human telomerase RNA (hTR), and telomerase protein 1 (TP1).

Detection of Selection Signatures Among Brazilian, Sri Lankan, and Egyptian Chicken Populations Under Different Environmental Conditions

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Extreme environmental conditions are a major challenge in livestock production. Changes in climate, particularly those that contribute to weather extremes like drought or excessive humidity, may result in reduced performance and reproduction and could ...

Systems genetics uncover new loci containing functional gene candidates in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected Diversity Outbred mice.

PLoS Pathogens
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects two billion people across the globe, and results in 8-9 million new tuberculosis (TB) cases and 1-1.5 million deaths each year. Most patients have no known genetic basis that predisposes them to disease.

Chromosomal Gains and Losses in Uveal Melanomas Detected by Comparative Genomic Hybridization [PDF]

, 1994
Eleven uveal melanomas were analyzed using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The most abundant genetic changes were loss of chromosome 3, overrepresentation of 6p, loss of 6q, and multiplication of 8q.

Genetic Normalization of Differentiating Aneuploid Human Embryos [PDF]

, 2011
Early embryogenesis involves a series of dynamic processes, many of which are currently not well described or understood. Aneuploidy and aneuploid mosaicism, a mixture of aneuploid and euploid cells within one embryo, in early embryonic development are ...
