A sex-chromosome inversion causes strong overdominance for sperm traits that affect siring success. Nature Ecology & Evolution , 2017; DOI: 10.1038/s41559-017-0236-1 Cite This Page : ...

In zebra finches, sperm velocity and morphology and hence reproductive success strongly depend on a specific mutation (an inversion) on one of the sex chromosomes, called Z. This was discovered by ...

The inversion chromosome 11 (Inv(11)8Brd Trp53–Wnt3; Fig. 1a) balancer has properties that allow us to isolate mutations on chromosome 11 after a three-generation breeding scheme , even though ...

Nature Reviews Genetics - The germline mutation rate in human males, ... Among 126 chromosomes analysed , 37% showed the factor VIII inversion, 32% were point mutations, ...

DNA sequencing and analysis by Larracuente, Daven Presgraves and their colleagues showed that chromosomes with SD-Mal accumulate harmful mutations, as predicted by the near-complete lack of ...

On the chromosome 4 of the plant, a so-called inversion occurred: The chromosome broke at two points and was reassembled again. The broken out section was reinserted, but rotated by 180°.

Mutations in a key section of a human sex chromosome appear to be able to cause mental retardation, an Australian researcher said Thursday. About Careers Internship MedBlog Contact us English (US) ...

Scientists have demonstrated an intriguing new variation on the CRISPR gene-editing system, which involves fixing a mutation on one chromosome by copying a healthy version from the other.
