Translocations generate novel chromosomes, but are often linked to disorders like infertility and cancer. How do these new chromosomes generate problems, and how are they detected? Translocations ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

(Because the translocations responsible for DS can be inherited, this form of the disease is sometimes referred to as familial DS.) In these cases, a segment of chromosome 21 is transferred to a ...

Chromosomal translocations occur in leukemias, lymphomas, sarcomas and some epithelial tumors and some generate unique fusion proteins. These translocation products may provide tumor-specific ...

One specific change they analyzed is the translocation of human PAR2 (pseudoautosomal region 2), a swapping of the tips of our X and Y chromosomes. This occurred relatively recently in primate ...
