The schematic summarizes the distribution of insertions, deletions and inversions on each human chromosome. A total of 297 clusters were identified: 139 insertions, 102 deletions and 56 inversions ...

Chinese scientists have uncovered two major genes responsible for sorghum's double-grain spikelet that dramatically enhance grain number and crop yield. A substantial 35.7-kilobase intrachromosomal ...

Structural variation, such as deletions, duplications, inversions and complex rearrangements, can have profound effects on gene expression, genome stability, phenotypic diversity and disease ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

A substantial chromosomal inversion in the DG1 promoter upregulates its expression. It gives rise to a double-grain spikelet trait remarkably augmenting the grain number and yield in sorghum and ...
