July 6, 2022 —Biologists have used population genomics to shed light on the evolution and consequences of a selfish genetic element known as Segregation Distorter (SD). The researchers report that SD has caused ...
Oct. 24, 2022 —New findings suggest an explanation for the century-old mystery of how chromosome recombination is regulated during sexual ...
June 9, 2021 —During meiosis, paternal and maternal chromosomes duplicate, pair, and exchange parts of their DNA in a process called meiotic recombination. In order to mediate this exchange of genetic material, ...
Oct. 22, 2021 —Scientists have probed the molecular origins of recombination in RNA viruses. Hiccups during the copying process of viruses cause recombination to take place: the exchange of segments of viral RNA. ...
Mar. 13, 2023 —Meiotic recombination assures genetic variation during breeding. During meiotic prophase I, chromosomes are organized in a loop-base array by a proteinaceous structure called meiotic chromosome axis ...
Nov. 9, 2020 —Researchers have clarified how homologous chromosome pairing -- a process necessary for sperm and egg formation where paternally- and maternally-derived chromosomes match and exchange genetic ...
Nov. 17, 2021 —Investigators have employed mutant mice to study how the accumulation of genetic errors is managed during egg and sperm ...
Jan. 21, 2021 —Scientists generally believe that cancers lack a powerful and important diversification mechanism available to pathogenic microbes - the ability to exchange and recombine genetic material between ...
11月25日, 2020 —Wheat researchers are pioneering a new technique that promises to improve gene discovery for the globally important ...
May 13, 2021 —Mutations in two genetic regions in dogs explain over one third of the risk of developing an aggressive form of hematological cancer, according to a new ...
