The heterochromatic Y chromosomes did not display a higher methylation level compared to the autosomes.
2
Twenty-two pairs are called autosomes, the other pair is made up of the sex chromosomes.
3
People with mongolism, or Down's syndrome, have an extra chromosome in the twenty-first pair of autosomes.
4
These estimates suggest that microsatellites on the Y chromosome have mutation frequencies comparable to those on the autosomes.
5
All these birds were genotyped with 167 DNA markers located throughout the 26 autosomes.
6
A total of 356 microsatellites covering all 29 autosomes were used in the scan.
7
All experimental animals were genotyped with 39 438 SNPs located throughout the pig autosomes.
8
Sex is determined in Caenorhabditis elegans by the ratio of X chromosomes to the sets of autosomes, the X:A signal.
9
To localize the MROS genes, we used the flow-sorted X chromosomes and autosomes as a template for PCR with internal primers.
10
The heterogeneity and reduced extent of silencing on autosomes are evidence for the importance of DNA elements underlying the spread of silencing.
11
Strong associations of SNPs with mastitis traits were observed on bovine autosomes 6, 13, 14 and 20.
12
In each of the five genome scans, approximately 350 evenly spaced markers were genotyped on 22 autosomes.
13
The genetic markers used were approximately 18 million SNPs, with marker density 6.93 per kb across the autosomes.
14
Chicken and platypus autosomes sharing homology with the human X chromosome located centrally in both species suggesting that this is the ancestral position.
15
Here we use this model to predict the existence of about 1.6 millions NIEBs over the 22 human autosomes.
16
The evolution of this sex chromosome silencing is thought to result in retroposition of genes required in spermatogenesis from the sex chromosomes to autosomes.
