A genomewide screen for autism susceptibility loci.
We report the analysis of 335 microsatellite markers genotyped in 110 multiplex families with autism. All families include at least two “affected” siblings, at least one of whom has autism; the remaining affected sibs carry diagnoses of either Asperger ...

A genomewide screen of 345 families for autism-susceptibility loci.
We previously reported a genomewide scan to identify autism-susceptibility loci in 110 multiplex families, showing suggestive evidence (P < .01) for linkage to autism-spectrum disorders (ASD) on chromosomes 5, 8, 16, 19, and X and showing nominal ...

Chromosome assignment of two cloned DNA probes hybridizing predominantly to human sex chromosomes [PDF]
In situ hybridization experiments were carried out with two clones, YACG 35 and 2.8, which had been selected from two genomic libraries strongly enriched for the human Y chromosome.

On the origin of crossover interference : a chromosome oscillatory movement (COM) model [PDF]
Background: It is now nearly a century since it was first discovered that crossovers between homologous parental chromosomes, originating at the Prophase stage of Meiosis I, are not randomly placed.

Localization, analysis and evolution of transposed human immunoglobulin VK genes [PDF]
The localization of Vκ gene regions to chromosome 2, on which the κ locus is located, and to other chromosomes is described. The Vκ genes that have been transposed to other chromosomes are called orphons.

Patterns of selective constraints in noncoding DNA of rice [PDF]
Background Several studies have investigated the relationships between selective constraints in introns and their length, GC content and location within genes. To date, however, no such investigation has been done in plants.

Comparative BAC-based mapping in the white-throated sparrow, a novel behavioral genomics model, using interspecies overgo hybridization [PDF]
BACKGROUND The genomics era has produced an arsenal of resources from sequenced organisms allowing researchers to target species that do not have comparable mapping and sequence information.

Identification of Type 1 Diabetes-Associated DNA Methylation Variable Positions That Precede Disease Diagnosis [PDF]
Monozygotic (MZ) twin pair discordance for childhood-onset Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is similar to 50%, implicating roles for genetic and non-genetic factors in the aetiology of this complex autoimmune disease.

The Z and W sex chromosomes of birds have evolved independently from the mammalian X and Y chromosomes [1]. Unlike mammals, female birds are heterogametic (ZW), while males are homogametic (ZZ).
