Centromere repositioning (CR) is a recently discovered biological phenomenon consisting
of the emergence of a new centromere along a chromosome and the inactivation of the old …

A long-standing question in evolutionary biology concerns the effect of recombination in
shaping the genomic architecture of organisms and, in particular, how this impacts the …

Approximately 3,000 cattle bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-end sequences were
added to the Illinois–Texas 5,000-rad RH (RH, radiation hybrid) map. The BAC-end …

Cancer research is at a crossroads. Traditionally, cancer has been thought of as a disease
of gene mutation, where the stepwise accumulation of cancer gene mutations is the key, and …

Background Duplicated sequences are an important source of gene innovation and
structural variation within mammalian genomes. We performed the first systematic and …

Co-located 5S rDNA genes and interstitial telomeric sites (ITS) revealed the involvement of
multiple 5S rDNA clusters in chromosome rearrangements of Loricariidae. Interstitial …

Chromosome reshuffling events are often a foundational mechanism by which speciation
can occur, giving rise to highly derivative karyotypes even amongst closely related species …

Saccharomyces sensu stricto complex consist of yeast species, which are not only important
in the fermentation industry but are also model systems for genomic and ecological analysis …

Our understanding of genomic reorganization, the mechanics of genomic transmission to
offspring during germ line formation, and how these structural changes contribute to the …

Cytogenetic data showed the enrichment of repetitive DNAs in chromosomal rearrangement
points between closely related species in armored catfishes. Still, few studies integrated …
