Why do human diversity levels vary at a megabase scale?
Levels of diversity vary across the human genome. This variation is caused by two forces: differences in mutation rates and the differential impact of natural selection. Pertinent to the question of the relative importance of these two forces is the observation that both diversity within species and interspecies divergence increase with recombination rates. This suggests that mutation and recom...
متن کاملMegabase-scale inversion polymorphism in the wild ancestor of maize.
Chromosomal inversions are thought to play a special role in local adaptation, through dramatic suppression of recombination, which favors the maintenance of locally adapted alleles. However, relatively few inversions have been characterized in population genomic data. On the basis of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping across a large panel of Zea mays, we have identified an ∼50-Mb ...
متن کاملPostembryonic Establishment of Megabase-Scale Gene Silencing in Nucleolar Dominance
Nucleolar dominance is an epigenetic phenomenon in plant and animal genetic hybrids that describes the expression of 45S ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA genes) inherited from only one progenitor due to the silencing of the other progenitor's rRNA genes. rRNA genes are tandemly arrayed at nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) that span millions of basepairs, thus gene silencing in nucleolar dominance occ...
متن کاملA 12 megabase restriction map at the cystic fibrosis locus.
We have constructed a physical map of the chromosomal region containing the cystic fibrosis locus using seven DNA markers and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis methods. The map includes cleavage sites for 8 rare-cutting restriction enzymes and spans over 12 megabases (Mb) of DNA, with one unlinked probe covering an additional 5 Mb. To our knowledge, this is the largest segment of human DNA which...
متن کاملPostsynaptic chromatin is under neural control at the neuromuscular junction.
In adult skeletal muscle, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) specifically accumulates at the neuromuscular junction, to allow neurotransmission. This clustering is paralleled by a compartmentalization of AChR genes expression to subsynaptic nuclei, which acquire a unique gene expression program and a specific morphology in response to neural cues. Our results demonstrate that neural ag...
