Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Some mutations can affect the structure of one or more chromosomes - these are chromosome structure mutations.

This odd arrangement, the authors found, influences the three-dimensional structure of the entire chromosome. “This is definitely a breakthrough within the field. We’ve been generating assemblies for ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that make up the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...
