Histone Variants at the Centromere

4.0K
Histone variants are the histone proteins with structural and sequence variations. These variants may be regarded as “mutant” forms that replace their canonical histone counterparts in the nucleosomes. Specific post-translational modifications on the histone variants enable further chromatin complexity and regulate tissue-specific gene expression. The most common histone variants are from histone H2A, H2B, and linker histone H1 families. However, several variants of histone H3...

Polytene Chromosomes

9.2K
Polytene chromosomes are giant interphase chromosomes with several DNA strands placed side by side. They were discovered in the year 1881 by Balbiani in salivary glands, intestine, muscles, malpighian tubules, and hypoderm of larvae Chironomus plumosus. Hence, these are also called "Salivary gland chromosomes." These are found in insects of the order Diptera and Collembola; in certain organs of mammals; and synergids, antipodes of flowering plants. Polytene chromosomes are also...

Chromosome Structure

22.0K
A functional eukaryotic chromosome must contain three elements: a centromere, telomeres, and numerous origins of replication.
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.
Telomeres consist of non-coding repetitive nucleotide...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Plant Biology
  • Wheat Genetics

Background:

  • Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) possesses a large, complex genome.
  • Understanding chromosome organization is crucial for crop improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generate a high-quality reference sequence for bread wheat chromosome 3B.
  • To investigate the distribution of genomic features and gene duplication events.

Main Methods:

  • Sequencing of 8452 bacterial artificial chromosomes in pools.
  • Assembly of a 774 Mb sequence for chromosome 3B.
  • Comparative genomic analyses.

Main Results:

  • Assembly of 774 Mb sequence containing 5326 protein-coding genes and 1938 pseudogenes.
  • Identification of structural and functional feature partitioning correlated with meiotic recombination.
  • Discovery of significant wheat-specific inter- and intrachromosomal gene duplication.

Conclusions:

  • The chromosome 3B sequence provides insights into the organization, function, and evolution of polyploid genomes.
  • Gene duplication activities are a potential source of adaptive variability in wheat.
  • The anchored sequence will accelerate the discovery of genes for important agronomic traits.
