‘Microchromosomes’ are Fundamental Building Blocks of Amniote Chromosomes, Study Finds
Tiny ‘microchromosomes’ (<0.5 µm) are the building blocks of all animal genomes, but they underwent ‘dizzying rearrangement’ in mammals, including humans, according to a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. La Trobe University’s Professor Jenny Graves and colleagues made the discovery by lining up the DNA sequence of microchromosomes that huddle ...
