The results are published in the journal New Phytologist. Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression.

(In keeping with the analogy, this rearrangement can be thought of as a chromosomal inversion, in which small blocks of genes get flipped around.) Now, imagine that we deal a few hundred thousand ...

In 2014 we described a simple strategy to engineer an oncogenic chromosomal inversion leading to the formation of an Eml4-Alk gene fusion in the lungs of adult wild type mice via intra-tracheal ...
