The chromosomal breakages and reattachments of MLL, called translocations, are common in many aggressive leukemias. ❋ Editors (2010)
At that time maize provide the best material for locating known genes along a chromosome arm, and also for precisely determining the break points in chromosomes that had undergone various types of rearrangement, such as translocations, inversions, etc. The usefulness of the salivary gland chromosomes of Drosophila for such purposes had not yet been recognized. ❋ Unknown (1983)
The helicopter translocations usually take less than ten minutes, and the animals suffer no ill effect. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Chromosomal translocations can create new genes called chimeras by fusing two genes formerly located on two different chromosomes—the “head” of chromosome nine, say, fused with the “tail” of a gene in chromosome thirteen. ❋ Siddhartha Mukherjee (2010)
Oil-exposed non-smoking participants have significantly higher rates of chromosomal abnormalities in their white blood cells, including chromosomal deletions and translocations. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The newly formed Amphibian Survival Alliance, a coalition of over 20 organizations including IUCN, the Smithsonian Institution, and Zoo Atlanta, will spearhead frog research and recovery efforts with initiatives including exploring resistance in captive-bred populations and translocations, in addition to anti-fungal drugs, stemming from naturally-occurring bacteria making some amphibians resistant to the chytrid fungus. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In a workshop on future action over the endangered Peary caribou, this was recognized as a serious issue [45], especially in the context of allowing caribou hunting while considering reduction of wolf predation through translocations or other predator control methods. ❋ Unknown (2009)
However, Robertsonian translocations can also be germline in humans, and can be compatible with normal phenotype, except that descendants are at risk of chromosome imbalance. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It will probably be used for translocations, community education, other community projects, ranger training, radio tracking equipment or something similar. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Culling and translocations are used to regulate elephant populations within protected areas and research into immunocontraception has also been undertaken. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The spread of invasive alien species and disease organisms continues to increase due to both deliberate translocations and accidental introductions related to travel and trade. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The ecoregion is highly deforested and degraded; however, a few large blocks of habitat still remain and are worth conserving for possible translocations of the Asiatic lion to establish additional populations. ❋ Unknown (2008)
When water moves downward into the soil, it causes both mechanical and chemical translocations of material. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Also any microduplications and/or balaced non-robertsonian translocations. yeah, what does clinical medical genetics at any level molecular, locus, or chromosomal level have to do with evolution? ❋ Unknown (2007)
This link leads to promotional material for a commercial lab, but it discusses several example translocations quite nicely. ❋ Unknown (2007)
