This study summarized the functional variation patterns of genomic inversion in rice populations, confirmed the important role of inversion in functional gene expression and phenotypic variation of ...

Imagine being one cartwheel away from changing your appearance. One flip, and your brunette locks are platinum blond. That's not too far from what happens in some prokaryotes, or single-cell organisms ...

Chromosomal inversions are a form of structural variation in which a segment of a chromosome is reversed end to end. By suppressing recombination, inversions can preserve advantageous allele ...

A large genomic inversion dataset was generated from a representative rice population and was successfully applied in mining a novel rice heat resistance gene. This study is led by Prof. Lianguang ...
