Many repetitive regions of the genome have been considered "junk DNA" because the available technologies did not allow them to be studied at sufficient resolution. This is the case for the SST1/NBL2 ...

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran orangutan, Bornean orangutan, gorilla, bonobo and chimpanzee. Areas of their ...

KaryoScope is an alignment-free annotation tool that assigns each k-mer in a query assembly or sequencing read to a feature drawn from one or more user-defined hierarchical feature sets, producing a ...

Abnormalities in the structure of chromosomes within someone’s genetic makeup are called structural chromosomal abnormalities. Robertsonian translocations are very rare structural chromosomal ...

We describe here 6 cases of 18-trisomy syndrome and a possible seventh (Fig. 1). Table 1 lists the most frequent anomalies found in these patients. Case 1. M.C. was the 3d child of a Caucasian mother ...

Gain or loss of whole chromosome arms following centromere breaks is frequent in cancer, but whether or not there is a common initiating event is unknown. Here, we show that the total number of ...

ABSTRACT: Chromosomal translocations are structural chromosomal abnormalities resulting from the exchange of genetic material between at least two chromosomes. They are associated with various ...
