Somatic Mosaicism in the Human Genome
Somatic mosaicism refers to the occurrence of two genetically distinct populations of cells within an individual, derived from a postzygotic mutation. In contrast to inherited mutations, somatic mosaic mutations may affect only a portion of the body and are not transmitted to progeny. These mutations affect varying genomic sizes ranging from single nucleotides to entire chromosomes and have bee...
متن کاملRetrotransposon overdose and genome integrity.
Yeast and mammalian genomes are replete with nearly identical copies of long dispersed repeats in the form of retrotransposons. Mechanisms clearly exist to maintain genome structure in the face of potential rearrangement between the dispersed repeats, but the nature of this machinery is poorly understood. Here we describe a series of distinct "retrotransposon overdose" (RO) lineages in which th...
متن کاملGenome mosaicism and organismal lineages.
Some recently published genome-wide analyses of orthologous genes have found plurality consensus support for fully or partially resolved tree topologies. These findings were interpreted to discount the prevalence of horizontal gene transfer and the observed consensus was suggested to reflect organismal history. In this article, we explore the claim that methodological differences might have giv...
متن کاملChromosomal mosaicism in neural stem cells.
Neural stem and progenitor cells (referred to here as NSCs), located in the proliferative zones of embryonic brains, can be seen undergoing mitosis at the ventricular surface. Mitotic NSCs can be arrested in metaphase and chromosome "spreads" produced to reveal their chromosomal complement. Studies in mice and humans have revealed a prominent developmental presence of aneuploid NSCs, whereas ot...
