Segmental Duplication of Chromosome 11 and its Implications for Cell Division and Genome-wide Expression in Rice

Abstract Segmental duplication is a major structural variation that occurs in chromosomes. Duplication leads to the production of gene copies with increased numbers of related repeat segments, causing the global genome to be in a state of imbalance. In addition, if the added segment contains a centr...
