While most of us tend to carry the same general set of genes, within the billions of bases that make up the human genome, there is variation in the sequence from one person to another. Small ...

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have been found in ...

LOGAN, UTAH, USA -- Genetic variation is the ultimate fuel for evolution, says Utah State University evolutionary geneticist Zachariah Gompert. But, over centuries, that fuel reservoir gets depleted ...

A large genomic inversion dataset was generated from a representative rice population and was successfully applied in mining a novel rice heat resistance gene. This study is led by Prof. Lianguang ...
