Structural analysis of spontaneous Z-W translocations in the silkworm, Bombyx mori

In this study, the W-specific sequences were used to characterize four aberrant sex chromosomes arising from spontaneous translocations between T(W;Z)+ad and T(Z;2)Y chromosomes. The authors obtained molecular evidence that the breakpoints of the translocation events reside within the W-chromosomal...

Summary:In this study, the W-specific sequences were used to characterize four aberrant sex chromosomes arising from spontaneous translocations between T(W;Z)+ad and T(Z;2)Y chromosomes. The authors obtained molecular evidence that the breakpoints of the translocation events reside within the W-chromosomal region of the T(W;Z)_ad chromosome. The authors also described the relative location of the W-specific sequences on the W chromosome.
