unc - 124 (hs10) was originally isolated as a cold - sensitive (cs) unc mapping to the left
arm of chromosome X between dpy - 8 and unc - 10, at approximately 2.4 cM [50]; unc - 7 maps to the right arm of X at +22 cM.
It is located on the long
arm of chromosome 15 in the LINGO1 gene, which encodes a protein that has been shown to affect how neurons are formed and signal each other.
Computer analysis of the data, presented at the meeting on 14 October by Andrew Hicks, a scientist at deCODE, revealed that the P
arm of chromosome 1 contains a putative disease gene, although the researchers have yet to identify it.
A genome - wide scan performed in 66 high - risk prostate cancer families has provided evidence of linkage to the long
arm of chromosome 1 (1q24 - 25).
Only six months ago, a research team led by Bert Vogelstein of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and Albert de la Chappelle at the University of Helsinki announced that they had narrowed down the location of the gene to the short
arm of chromosome 2.
For example, they identified five double crossovers on one
arm of chromosome 2 — fewer than expected.
[2](Some cases are confounded by either a cryptic translocation that is invisible on G - banded chromosome preparations, or a variant translocation involving another chromosome or chromosomes as well as the long
arm of chromosomes 9 and 22.
Not exact matches
The researchers discovered that the number
of crossovers varied widely not just according to their position along the
chromosome arm, but also from
chromosome to
chromosome.
Unlike crossovers, which are generally distributed over the distal two - thirds
of the
chromosome arms, the non-crossovers were spread uniformly among the five major
chromosome arms.
During meiosis, the cell copies all its
chromosomes, pairs them up, and shuffles sections
of genetic material between the
arms of the paired or homologous
chromosomes.
The pivotal molecular markers that define the three tumor clusters — mutational status
of the IDH1 and IDH2 genes and loss
of chromosome arms 1p and 19q — are already routinely checked in clinical care, Verhaak noted, so implementing the new categories can be done relatively quickly.
The role
of aneuploidy — in which entire
chromosomes or
chromosome arms are added or deleted — has remained largely unstudied.
This means there is a translocation between
chromosome 9 and
chromosome 22, with breaks happening in region (3), band (4), sub-band (1)
of the long
arm (q)
of chromosome 9 and region (1), band (1), sub-band (2)
of the long
arm (q)
of chromosome 22.
Multiple DNA breaks at either the centromere or the long
arm of the mouse Y
chromosome cause it to fragment and disappear.
The X
chromosomes that will be eliminated line up on the metaphase plate and start to separate — in that their centromeres disjoin and start to be pulled to one pole or the other — but the
arms of the Xs fail to separate.
This observation led the team to propose that BRCA1 has an additional role in assisting neurons in orienting: the gene acts on the centromere
of DNA — essentially an anchor for the
chromosome arms essential in cell replication — to tell the new cell in which direction to grow, providing guidance in developing the brain's organized layers.
The exome sequences
of 1,535 Kronos and 1,200 Cadenza mutants have been re-sequenced using Illumina next - generation sequencing, the raw data aligned to the IWGSC Chinese Spring
chromosome arm survey sequence, mutations identified, and their effects predicted based on the protein annotation available at the Ensembl Plants archive site.

About 90 %
of solid tumors display whole -
chromosome aneuploidy, while many tumors with diploid karyotypes nonetheless harbor segmental or
arm - length aneuploidies that also result in significant gene copy number alterations.
