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 ...

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.

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

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 ...
