Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique. The term chromosome comes from the Greek ...

Genetics Research is an open access journal providing a key forum for original research on all aspects of human and animal genetics, reporting key findings on genomes, genes, mutations, developmental, evolutionary, and population genetics as well as ethical, legal and social aspects. As part of Wiley's Forward Series, this journal offers a ...

In this review, we discuss the diversity of polytene chromosomes in nature and in disease, examine the recurring structural features of polytene chromosomes in terms of what they reveal about chromosome biology, and discuss recent advances regarding how polytene chromosomes are assembled and disassembled. After over 130 years of study, these ...

This special issue of Chromosome Research provides overviews of a few current methodologies to study chromosome and genome organization and function, with a particular focus on contemporary sequencing-based approaches. Keywords: aneuploidy, chromatin, DNA, enhancer, fluorescence in situ hybridization, histone, immunoprecipitation, replication ...

In the 1930s, researchers began using polytene chromosomes as a new genetic tool, helping to make Drosophila one of the premier model organisms of the twentieth century ( Heitz 1933; Painter 1933; Letsou and Bohmann 2005 ). Most of the descriptions of polytene chromosomes in insects are from the Diptera order.

Chromosome Research publishes original research articles, reviews, brief communications, case reports, methodology articles, debates, correspondences and comments from work based on all organisms and encourages submissions in the following areas including, but not limited, to: Chromosomes and their linkage to diseases; Chromosome organization ...

Definition. Chromosomes are threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell. In plants and animals (including humans), chromosomes reside in the nucleus of cells. Humans have 22 pairs of numbered chromosomes (autosomes) and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY ...

This collaborative review highlights key technologies and perspectives for exploring chromatin and chromosome biology. It covers topics such as imaging, manipulation, single-cell accessibility, computational imaging, and phase separation of chromatin.

A chromosome is a package of DNA with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.In most chromosomes, the very long thin DNA fibers are coated with nucleosome-forming packaging proteins; in eukaryotic cells the most important of these proteins are the histones.These proteins, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to maintain its integrity.

By using genealogical DNA testing, genetic genealogy can determine the levels and types of biological relationships between or among individuals. This branch of genetics became popular in recent years, as costs were drastically reduced and genealogical studies using molecular techniques became accessible to the general public.

1 Introduction. Interspecific gene flow, or introgression, is an important process shaping genetic diversity within and among species [1-4] that has been consequential in crop evolution. [5-9] This is increasingly evident using genome sequencing datasets in numerous plant species, where introgression has been shown to increase genetic diversity and play an important role in adaptation and ...
