Comparative genomics reveals birth and death of fragile regions in mammalian evolution

Max A Alekseyev, Pavel A Pevzner Genome Biology 2010, 11:R117 (30 November 2010)

A new model explains the frequencies of breakpoints at genomic rearrangement hotspots by demonstrating that fragile sites undergo birth and death.

Analysis of fine-scale mammalian evolutionary breakpoints provides new insight into their relation to genome organisation

Claire Lemaitre, Lamia Zaghloul, Marie-France Sagot, Christian Gautier, Alain Arneodo, Eric Tannier, Benjamin Audit BMC Genomics 2009, 10:335 (24 July 2009)

Mammalian evolutionary breakpoints occur frequently in GC-rich intergenic regions characteristic of high-transcriptional activity and replication initiation, suggesting that their distribution is linked to natural selection and a mutational bias due to local open chromatin state.

Precise detection of rearrangement breakpoints in mammalian chromosomes

Claire Lemaitre, Eric Tannier, Christian Gautier, Marie-France Sagot BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9:286 (18 June 2008)

By comparing an organism's chromosomes to those of closely related species using a segmentation algorithm, breakpoints can be precisely delimited and their internal structure described, providing insights into the mechanisms and evolutionary properties of chromosomal rearrangements.

Hominoid chromosomal rearrangements on 17q map to complex regions of segmental duplication

Maria Cardone, Zhaoshi Jiang, Pietro D'Addabbo, Nicoletta Archidiacono, Mariano Rocchi, Evan E Eichler, Mario Ventura Genome Biology 2008, 9:R28 (7 February 2008)

A FISH analysis of chromosome 17 homologs in primates suggests that genomic architecture has a direct role in karyotype evolution and in the genomic instability associated with human disease.

Species-specific shifts in centromere sequence composition are coincident with breakpoint reuse in karyotypically divergent lineages

Kira V Bulazel, Gianni C Ferreri, Mark DB Eldridge, Rachel J O'Neill Genome Biology 2007, 8:R170 (20 August 2007)

The evolution of three classes of centromere sequences across nine species of macropodine marsupials were compared with that of other genes, showing that each species has experienced differential expansion and contraction of individual classes.

Is mammalian chromosomal evolution driven by regions of genome fragility?

Aurora Ruiz-Herrera, Jose Castresana, Terence J Robinson Genome Biology 2006, 7:R115 (8 December 2006)

An analysis of the distribution of evolutionary breakpoints in eight species suggests that certain human chromosomal regions are repeatedly used during the evolutionary process, are associated with fragile sites, and show an enrichment of tandem repeats.
