Aneuploidy Causes Non-genetic Individuality
Phenotypic variability is a hallmark of diseases involving chromosome gains and losses, such as Down syndrome and cancer. Allelic variances have been thought to be the sole cause of this heterogeneity. Here, we systematically examine the consequences of gaining and losing single or multiple chromosomes to show that the aneuploid state causes non-genetic phenotypic variability. Yeast cell popula...
متن کاملNon-genetic individuality in Escherichia coli motor switching.
By analyzing 30 min, high-resolution recordings of single Escherichia coli flagellar motors in the physiological regime, we show that two main properties of motor switching-the mean clockwise and mean counter-clockwise interval durations-vary significantly. When we represent these quantities on a two-dimensional plot for several cells, the data do not fall on a one-dimensional curve, as expecte...
متن کاملThe Mathematics of Non-Individuality
“The development of the foundations of physics in the twentieth century has taught us a serious lesson. Creating and understanding these foundations turned out to have very little to do with the epistemological abstractions which were of such importance to the twentieth century critics of the foundations of mathematics: finiteness, consistency, constructibility, and, in general, the Cartesian n...
متن کاملAneuploidy causes proteotoxic stress in yeast.
Gains or losses of entire chromosomes lead to aneuploidy, a condition tolerated poorly in all eukaryotes analyzed to date. How aneuploidy affects organismal and cellular physiology is poorly understood. We found that aneuploid budding yeast cells are under proteotoxic stress. Aneuploid strains are prone to aggregation of endogenous proteins as well as of ectopically expressed hard-to-fold prote...
متن کاملMolecular causes of aneuploidy in mammalian eggs.
Mammalian oocytes are particularly error prone in segregating their chromosomes during their two meiotic divisions. This results in the creation of an embryo that has inherited the wrong number of chromosomes: it is aneuploid. The incidence of aneuploidy rises significantly with maternal age and so there is much interest in understanding this association and the underlying causes of aneuploidy....
