Chromosomal inversions are common in natural populations and are believed to be involved in many important evolutionary phenomena, including speciation, the evolution of sex chromosomes and local ...

In Arabidopsis thaliana, chromosome arms are DNA-hypomethylated and enriched with the euchromatin-specific histone mark H3K4me3, while pericentromeric regions are DNA-hypermethylated and enriched ...

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Indeed, different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have ...

The present study and a review of the literature shows that inv (16) is an uncommon aberration in t-AML and, like balanced translocations to chromosome bands 11q23 and 21q22 and the t (15;17), often ...

The genetic pattern, known as an inversion, is a stretch of the DNA code that runs backwards in people who carry it. Usually, such rearrangements of a chromosome are harmful to carriers.

Genome inversion gives plant a new lifestyle Date: September 29, 2010 Source: Duke University Summary: The yellow monkeyflower, an unassuming little plant that lives as both a perennial on the ...

David Lowry’s work demonstrates through experimentation–for the first time in nature–that a chromosomal inversion contributes to adaptation and, in turn, reproductive isolation.

In zebra finches, sperm velocity and morphology and hence reproductive success strongly depend on a specific mutation (an inversion) on one of the sex chromosomes, called Z. This was discovered by ...
