The development of any organism is a complex dynamic process that is controlled by a network of genes as well as by environmental factors. Traditional mapping approaches for analysing phenotypic data ...

Chromosome 11 consists of approximately 144 Mb of DNA [1], representing around 5% of the human genome. Meiotic linkage analysis suggests a sex-averaged genetic map of approximately 162 cM [2]. The ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a simple and economical technique for imaging and mapping fruit fly chromosomes. This new approach will enable them to construct the first ...
