The results are published in the journal New Phytologist. Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression.

An individual’s growth and development is affected by the genes they inherit from their parents. An example of a human chromosome mutation is when a child inherits an extra copy of chromosome 21.

including null or point mutations and complex chromosomal rearrangements such as large deletions, translocations, or inversions (Bedell et al., 1997a). Many knock-out and knock-in mice have ...
