... study established a strong risk factor in this chromosomal region for the kind of lung cancer that is inherited. ... of lung cancer and the variants on both copies of chromosome 15 have a 5.7- to 7.2- ...
... San Diego and the Lewin laboratory reported that the breakpoints occurred more often in specific chromosomal regions than in others.
In 2004, Lewin and his colleagues reported a surprising finding: ...
A new study reveals that -- contrary to decades of evolutionary thought -- chromosome regions that are prone to breakage when new species are formed are a rich source of genetic variation.
... "finding" of a SNP's greater likelihood among schizophrenics was real or spurious. The genomic region on chromosome 6 survived this rigorous statistical test.
"These findings show that our genetic ...

They examined 92 SNPs mapping to a region around the RB1 gene in 84 paired ...
... gene-hunting technology, an international team of researchers has for the first time identified a chromosome region that is the source of genetic events that give rise to neuroblastoma, an often ...
... to perform tasks such as predicting gene function, mapping human chromosomal regions to corresponding regions in model organisms, and reconstructing the regulatory circuitry that turns genes on and ...
Researchers are a step closer to locating the 'melanoma gene' that doubles a person's risk of skin cancer, after narrowing it down to a single chromosomal region.
... the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) in Madrid, Spain and colleagues identified a miRNA-rich chromosomal region in mice that is frequently lost in T cell malignancies. This ...
... screened for genes expressed predominantly in the hippocampus that also fell within the Alzheimer's-linked chromosomal region.
That exercise led them to CALHM1, a gene of unknown function. Indeed, ...
... defined just by crossing different individuals. Now, with genome sequencing and genomics tools, chromosomal regions with QTLs can be mapped and cloned more easily than in the past. These genomic ...

The most widespread SI system is genetically controlled at the chromosomal region called the S locus, which contains numerous alleles that control recognition specificity. ...
... , if not most traits in tomato, are not the result of one gene, but of many genes located together in chromosomal regions called quantitative trait loci (QTLs), because they produce a range of values ...
