Chromosome core structure revealed by silver staining.

abstract：:We present a general model for the evolution of chromosome-specific satellite DNA subfamilies. Sus scrofa domestica has a bimodal karyotype with two autosomal subsets of 12 meta-/submetacentric (Mc) and 6 acrocentric (Ac) chromosome types (Mc and Ac "subgenomes"). We show that the centromeric heterochromatin is charac...

abstract：:In mammals, X-inactivation process is achieved by the cis-spreading of long noncoding Xist RNA over one of the female X chromosomes. The Xist binding accumulates histones H3 methylation and H4 hypoacetylation required for X inactivation that leads to proper dosage compensation of the X-linked genes. Co-transcription o...
