Found: Missing sequence of the human Y chromosome

Scientists report today in the journal GenomeResearch that they have successfully cloned and characterized apreviously intractable DNA sequence: a 554-kilobase-pair genomicsegment near the centromere of the human Y chromosome. This sequencecontains eight putatively active genes that could be implicated insex-associated height differences and gonadal tumor development. Thispericentrom...

Needling Chromosomes Reveals Cell Division Secret

By impaling individual chromosomes with glassneedles one thousandth the diameter of a human hair, a Duke Universitygraduate student has tested their "stickiness" to one another duringcell division. Her uncanny surgical skills have added a piece to thelarge and intricate puzzle of how one cell divides into two -- aprocess fundamental to all organisms.In the Dec. 14, 2004, issue of Current Bi...

Variation in women's X chromosomes may explain differences among individuals, between sexes

The first comprehensive survey of gene activity in the X chromosomes of women has revealed an unexpected level of variation among individuals, according to new work by researchers at the Duke University Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) and Pennsylvania State University. The results may have important implications for understanding the differences in traits among women and...

Liposome finding implies electrical effect on cell development

Experiments with liposomes ?cell-like "water balloons" composed of artificially created phospholipid bilayers similar to natural cell membranes ?have revealed unexpected behavior in the presence of electrical fields that may provide a paradigm-shifting change in science's understanding of biomembrane function in operating living systems. Arizona State University chemists Mark Hayes and Mic...

Chromosome Deletion Predicts Aggressive Neuroblastoma

When genes are deleted on a particular section of chromosome 11, the result is an aggressive form of the childhood cancer neuroblastoma. A new study suggests that detecting this genetic deletion during the initial evaluation of children with neuroblastoma may indicate to physicians that they should recommend a more aggressive regimen of chemotherapy to fight the cancer. Edward F. Attiyeh,...

Canine Pancreatic Microsomal Membranes from Promega

Description:Microsomal vesicles are used to study co-translational and initial post-translational processing of proteins. Processing events such as signal peptide cleavage, membrane insertion, translocation and core glycosylation can be examined by the translation of the appropriate mRNA in vitro in the presence of these microsomal membranes. In addition, processing and glycosylation events may be studied by...

Chromosome Ends Trigger DNA Damage Response For Telomere Protection

Researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have suggested that a localized DNA damage response at telomeres after replication is essential for recruiting the //processing machinery that promotes formation of a chromosome end protection complex. Telomeres, the ends of linear chromosomes, represent a problem for the control of genome stability and the DNA damage machinery...

Chromosomes to predict oral cancer

The DNA content in cells of oral leukoplakia, specifically the number of chromosomes, can be used to predict the risk of oral carcinoma, according to study.// 123 patients were taken up for research for an average of 8.5 years, found that oral leukoplakia with the normal number of chromosomes — 46 — were unlikely to develop into cancer. Of the 103 patients with leukoplakia with normal DNA...

Gestational Diabetes linked to Chromosomal defici

According to a new study, researchers, suggest that, some women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy may be prone to have children with certain chromosomal abnormalities However, researchers stress, gestational diabetes is not itself a risk factor for these types of defects since they form in the early stages of pregnancy--well before gestational diabetes typically develops./...

Y chromosome uses trick to repair its own genes

Scientists have discovered that the Y chromosome uses a neat trick to repair its most crucial genes, a strategy that apparently helps keep it from rotting away over evolutionary time. The Y chromosome, of course, is best known for supplying the biological signal that makes males rather than females. Some scientists have suggested it might disappear millions of years from now becaus...

Indian Scientists Make Wide-Ranging Analysis And Annotation Of X Chromosome
