Complex chromosome rearrangements, known as chromoanagenesis, are widespread in
cancer. Based on large-scale DNA sequencing of human tumours, the most frequent type of …

Centromeres are essential regions of eukaryotic chromosomes responsible for the formation
of kinetochore complexes, which connect to spindle microtubules during cell division …

Ambrosia artemisiifolia and Ambrosia trifida (Asteraceae) are important pest species and the
two greatest sources of aeroallergens globally. Here, we took advantage of a hybrid to …

Minichromosomes are small, sometimes circular, rearranged chromosomes consisting of
one centromere and short chromosomal arms formed by treatments that break DNA …

Centromeres are the sites where kinetochores assemble and spindle microtubules anchor to
the chromosomes during cell division. Centromeres are epigenetically specified by the …

DNA copy numbers have recently emerged as an important new marker system. In the
absence of a contiguous reference genome, alternative detection systems such as the …

Structural variation plays an important role in plant genome architecture and phenotypes. It
is also suggested to be a new type of DNA marker for genomic selection in plant breeding …
