Y chromosomes evolving rapidly
MIT. - January 13, 2010The Y chromosome is often considered somewhat of a genetic oddball. Short and stubby, it carries hardly any genes, most of which are related to traits associated with maleness. Most of the chromosome consists of highly repetitive sequences of DNA, known as massive palindrome sequences…

Infectious virus hidden in chromosomes during latency can be passed from parents to children
Eurekalert Infectious_emerging_diseases. - March 07, 2010(University of South Florida Health) In some individuals the common herpes virus HHV-6 can integrate into structures at the end of chromosomes and be reactivated to an infectious form. The findings are reported online, March 8, 2010, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Scien…

Gene Increases Risk Of Cancer
Medical News Today. - June 30, 2009Scientists discover novel mechanism that increases the risk of common colorectal cancer Finnish Academy Professors Lauri Aaltonen and Jussi Taipale have identified and described a mechanism whereby a single-base change in the human genome increases the risk of colorectal cancer. The f…

Cleft Lip And Palate: Scientists Discover Gene Locus Associated With Deformity
Science Daily. - March 07, 2009Scientists discover the gene locus associated with cleft lip and palate. Comparing 500,000 snippets of human DNA put scientists on the right track. A genetic variant on chromosome 8 occurs with significantly higher frequency in people with cleft lip and palate than in the control grou…

Bonn Scientists Discover Gene Locus Associated With Cleft Lip And Palate
Medical News Today. - March 09, 2009Comparing 500,000 snippets of human DNA put scientists from the University of Bonn on the right track. A genetic variant on chromosome 8 occurs with significantly higher frequency in people with cleft lip and palate than in the control group. The results are to be published in the for…

[LETTERS] Comparative inference of illegitimate recombination between rice and sorghum duplicated genes produced by polyploidization
Genome Research. - May 31, 2009Whole-genome duplication produces massive duplicated blocks in plant genomes. Sharing appreciable sequence similarity, duplicated blocks may have been affected by illegitimate recombination. However, large-scale evaluation of illegitimate recombination in plant genomes has not been po…

[LETTERS] Geographical structure and differential natural selection among North European populations
Genome Research. - April 30, 2009Population structure can provide novel insight into the human past, and recognizing and correcting for such stratification is a practical concern in gene mapping by many association methodologies. We investigate these patterns, primarily through principal component (PC) analysis of wh…
