13th International Chromosome Conference, Numana, Ancona, Italy 1998
Chromosomes Today, Volume 13 includes the plenary lectures presented atthe 13th International Chromosome Conference, covering the most recentadvances in the studies on chromosomes. The contributions in this volumewere presented by some of the world's leaders in cytogenetic andmolecular research and outline the present status of knowledge on thecomposition, structure, function and evolution of chromosomes,including, among others, the advancement of the human genome project.The use of cytogenetic studies has greatly increased in the last fewyears, resulting in a progressive improvement in the available methodsthat has consequently allowed a more detailed analysis of the molecularorganization of eukaryotic chromosomes and a precise in situlocalisation of specific gene sequences. This volume of ChromosomesToday provides up-to-date information regarding the topics at theforefront of chromosome research: genetic regulation, imprinting, DNAduplication, meiotic pairing, and the regulation of the...
