Buffering of Segmental and Chromosomal Aneuploidies in Drosophila melanogaster
Chromosomal instability, which involves the deletion and duplication of chromosomes or chromosome parts, is a common feature of cancers, and deficiency screens are commonly used to detect genes involved in various biological pathways. However, despite their importance, the effects of deficiencies, duplications, and chromosome losses on the regulation of whole chromosomes and large chromosome do...
متن کاملBuffering and proteolysis are induced by segmental monosomy in Drosophila melanogaster
Variation in the number of individual chromosomes (chromosomal aneuploidy) or chromosome segments (segmental aneuploidy) is associated with developmental abnormalities and reduced fitness in all species examined; it is the leading cause of miscarriages and mental retardation and a hallmark of cancer. However, despite their documented importance in disease, the effects of aneuploidies on the tra...
متن کاملChromosomal Aneuploidies and Early Embryonic Developmental Arrest
Background Selecting the best embryo for transfer, with the highest chance of achieving a vital pregnancy, is a major goal in current in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology. The high rate of embryonic developmental arrest during IVF treatment is one of the limitations in achieving this goal. Chromosomal abnormalities are possibly linked with chromosomal arrest and selection against abnormal fe...
متن کاملChromosomal Dna Synthesis in Drosophila Melanogaster
Analysis of labeling patterns in three chromosome segments of Drosophila melanogaster has shown that the replicative activity within chromosomes is temporally ordered. Moreover, specific labeling patterns on one chromosome occur with specific patterns on another chromosome with a very high degree of correlation. This circumstance leads to the conclusion that DNA synthesis among all the regions ...
متن کاملA model of segmental duplication formation in Drosophila melanogaster.
Segmental duplications (SDs) are low-copy repeats of DNA segments that have long been recognized to be involved in genome organization and evolution. But, to date, the mechanism of their formation remains obscure. We propose a model for SD formation that we name "duplication-dependent strand annealing" (DDSA). This model is a variant of the synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) model--a d...
