Highly distinct chromosomal structures in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), as revealed by molecular cytogenetic analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 197-216 - 2016

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is an important legume, particularly in developing countries. However, little is known about its genome or chromosome structure. We used molecular cytogenetics to characterize the structure of pachytene chromosomes to advance our knowledge of chromosome and genome organization of cowpea. Our data showed that cowpea has highly distinct chromosomal structures tha...... hiện toàn bộ
Nature of B chromosomes in the harvest mouse Reithrodontomys megalotis by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 475-479 - 1997
John A. Peppers, Lara E. Wiggins, Robert J. Baker
Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, we examined the characteristics of two types of B chromosomes in harvest mice of the genus Reithrodontomys. B chromosomes were interrogated with rDNA, telomeric repeat, LINE element and centromeric heterochromatin probes. The two types of B chromosomes share the following features: (a) telomeres present on the ends of both arms; (b) hybridization to LINE p...... hiện toàn bộ
Sister Chromatid Differentiation With Biotin-dUTPSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 185-189 - 1999

The method of choice to differentiate sister chromatids is to incorporate BrdU in replicating DNA. The disadvantage of BrdU is that its spontaneous or induced radicalization may itself lead to sister chromatid exchanges. Biotin-labelled dUTP is a widely used thymidine analogon for labelling isolated DNA. Its chemical structure suggests that, in contrast to BrdU, it does not give rise to radical fo...... hiện toàn bộ
An essential role for the Ino80 chromatin remodeling complex in regulation of gene expression during cellular quiescenceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 1-19 - 2023
Yasaman Zahedi, Shengyuan Zeng, Karl Ekwall
Cellular quiescence is an important physiological state both in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes. Quiescent cells are halted for proliferation and stop the cell cycle at the G0 stage. Using fission yeast as a model organism, we have previously found that several subunits of a conserved chromatin remodeling complex, Ino80C (INOsitol requiring nucleosome remodeling factor), are required for ...... hiện toàn bộ
Sex chromosome evolution in moths and butterfliesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 83-94 - 2011
Ken Sahara, Atsuo Yoshido, Walther Traut
Lepidoptera, i.e. moths and butterflies, have a female heterogametic sex chromosome system, with most females having a WZ constitution while males are ZZ. Besides this predominant WZ/ZZ system, Z/ZZ, WZ1Z2/Z1Z1Z2Z2 and W1W2Z/ZZ systems also occur. Sex is determined by an unknown W-linked gene or genes in Bombyx mori, but by dosage-dependent and equally unknown Z-linked genes in all Z/ZZ species. T...... hiện toàn bộ
The prevalence of a YY synaptonemal complex over XY synapsis in an XYY man with exclusive XYY spermatocytesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 467-474 - 1997
A. J. Solari, G. Rey Valzacchi
An infertile XYY man was studied by synaptonemal complex analysis of microspread spermatocytes and by quantitation of germ cells in semithin sections. All the 74 spermatocytes micrographed have an XYY constitution, and the biopsy shows a homogeneous arrest of spermatogenesis at the spermatocyte/young spermatid stages. The overwhelming majority (86%) of spermatocytes showed a Y—Y bivalent plus a un...... hiện toàn bộ
