Nineteen paracentric chromosomal inversions in mice.
Using mutagens on sperm and spermatids we have produced nineteen chromosomal inversions in mice. The levels of radiation and chemical mutagen we used induced inversions in about one per cent of the animals screened. Nine inversions have been transmitted through successive generations, and the particular frequency of first meiotic anaphase bridges manifested by each inversion remained constant. ...
متن کاملParacentric Inversions Found in Prenatal Diagnosis
Inversions are balanced rearrangements of chromosomes, and the vast majority of paracentric inversions seem to be harmless. The risk of having a phenotypically abnormal child for carriers of paracentric inversions due to the production of unbalanced gametes resulting from recombination during meiotic crossover has been thought to be low. However, a few cases of abnormal offspring due to classic...
متن کاملMeiotic exchange and segregation in female mice heterozygous for paracentric inversions.
Inversion heterozygosity has long been noted for its ability to suppress the transmission of recombinant chromosomes, as well as for altering the frequency and location of recombination events. In our search for meiotic situations with enrichment for nonexchange and/or single distal-exchange chromosome pairs, exchange configurations that are at higher risk for nondisjunction in humans and other...
متن کاملTargeted chromosomal deletions and inversions in zebrafish.
Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) provide powerful platforms for genome editing in plants and animals. Typically, a single nuclease is sufficient to disrupt the function of protein-coding genes through the introduction of microdeletions or insertions that cause frameshifts within an early coding exon. However, interrogating the function of...
متن کاملAdaptation through chromosomal inversions in Anopheles
Chromosomal inversions have been repeatedly involved in local adaptation in a large number of animals and plants. The ecological and behavioral plasticity of Anopheles species-human malaria vectors-is mirrored by high amounts of polymorphic inversions. The adaptive significance of chromosomal inversions has been consistently attested by strong and significant correlations between their frequenc...
