The molecular basis of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) arise from the malignant transformation of hematopoietic progenitors primed toward T cell development, as result of a multistep oncogenic process involving constitutive activation of NOTCH signaling and ...

A genetic network that suppresses genome rearrangements in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and contains defects in cancers. [PDF]
Gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) play an important role in human diseases, including cancer. The identity of all Genome Instability Suppressing (GIS) genes is not currently known.

Array-CGH and multipoint FISH to decode complex chromosomal rearrangements
Background Recently, several high-resolution methods of chromosome analysis have been developed. It is important to compare these methods and to select reliable combinations of techniques to analyze complex chromosomal rearrangements in tumours.

Induced dicentric chromosome formation promotes genomic rearrangements and tumorigenesis [PDF]
Chromosomal rearrangements can radically alter gene products and their function, driving tumor formation or progression. However, the molecular origins and evolution of such rearrangements are varied and poorly understood, with cancer cells often ...

Catastrophic chromosomal restructuring during genome elimination in plants. [PDF]
Genome instability is associated with mitotic errors and cancer. This phenomenon can lead to deleterious rearrangements, but also genetic novelty, and many questions regarding its genesis, fate and evolutionary role remain unanswered.

The dark side of centromeres: types, causes and consequences of structural abnormalities implicating centromeric DNA [PDF]
Centromeres are the chromosomal domains required to ensure faithful transmission of the genome during cell division. They have a central role in preventing aneuploidy, by orchestrating the assembly of several components required for chromosome separation.
