Blastocyst Morphology Holds Clues Concerning The Chromosomal Status of The Embryo
Background Embryo morphology has been proposed as an alternative marker of chromosomal status. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the association between the chromosomal status on day 3 of embryo development and blastocyst morphology.Embryo morphology has been proposed as an alternative marker of chromosomal status. The objective of this retrospective cohort stu...
متن کاملThe Sex Chromosomes of Frogs: Variability and Tolerance Offer Clues to Genome Evolution and Function
Frog sex chromosomes offer an ideal system for advancing our understanding of genome evolution and function because of the variety of sex determination systems in the group, the diversity of sex chromosome maturation states, the ease of experimental manipulation during early development. After briefly reviewing sex chromosome biology generally, we focus on what is known about frog sex determina...
متن کاملEvolutionary Biology: Genomic Clues to Original Sex in Fungi
Sexual identity in fungi is conferred by a diverse group of transcription factors. Analysis of a Zygomycota genome, representing a basal branch within the fungi, indicates that HMG-domain proteins were present as ancestral sex determinants and suggests a mechanism for the evolution of eukaryotic sex chromosomes.
متن کاملDimorphic mating-type chromosomes in the fungus Microbotryum violaceum.
Fungi often mate as haploids, and sex chromosomes (i.e., mating-type chromosomes) that are dimorphic for their size or overall DNA content have never been reported in this kingdom. Using electrophoretic techniques for karyotype analysis, a highly dimorphic chromosome pair that determines mating compatibility is shown to occur in populations of the fungus Microbotryum violaceum. This substantiat...
متن کاملAMELX and AMELY Structure and Application for Sex Determination of Iranian Maral deer (Cervus elaphus maral)
In order to have a good perspective of wild animals, it is necessary to determine their population and genetic structure. It provides an opportunity to decide on better conservation managements. In the wilderness, due to the escapable nature and sometimes not having the distinguishable bisexual appearance, sex identification could be difficult by observing animals. The X- and Y- chromosome link...
