The pseudoautosomal regions get their name because any genes within them (so far at least 29 have been found for humans) [3] are inherited just like any autosomal genes. In humans, these regions are referred to as PAR1 and PAR2. [4]

The pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) are short regions of homology between the mammalian X and Y chromosomes. The PAR behave like an autosome and recombine during meiosis. Thus genes in this region are inherited in an autosomal rather than a …

2021年11月7日 · The par genes were discovered in genetic screens for regulators of cytoplasmic partitioning in the early embryo of C. elegans, and encode six different proteins required for asymmetric cell division by the worm zygote. Some of the PAR proteins are localized asymmetrically and form physical complexes with one another.

2008年4月9日 · Two intervals of sequence identity at the tips of X and Y chromosomes, the human pseudoautosomal regions PAR1 and PAR2, have drawn interest from researchers in human genetics, cytogenetics, and...

2011年9月1日 · Here we review the distribution and structure of PARs among animals and plants, the theoretical predictions concerning their evolutionary dynamics, the reasons for their persistence, and the diversity and content of genes that reside within them.

Pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) are segments of sequence homology between the X and Y (or Z and W) chromosomes, which are otherwise non-homologous. Uniquely, PARs are inherited in the same manner as autosomes, while also being partially linked with X …

The pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) of the human X and Y chromosomes pair and recombine during meiosis. Thus genes in this region are not inherited in a strictly sex-linked fashion. PAR1 is located at the terminal region of the short arms and PAR2 at the tips of the long arms of these chromo …

The pseudoautosomal regions (PAR), where chromosome X and Y share homologous sequence, are defined by the GRC for human. When viewing the PAR on either X or Y in the browser, you will see the region highlighted in blue. You are able to move seamlessly along the chromosome between the PARs and the unique X or Y sequences.

2007年4月1日 · PAR1 is located at the terminal region of the short arms and PAR2 at the tips of the long arms of these chromosomes. To date, 24 genes have been assigned to the PAR1 region. Half of these have a...

A massively parallel tool for model selection and tree inference on thousands of genes. ParGenes is a parallel tool that takes as input a set of multiple sequence alignments (typically from different genes) and infers their corresponding phylogenetic trees. ParGenes supports the following features: Either MPI or OpenMP.
