Typically, all cells of a given organism have the same set of chromosomes. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and in many organisms, the somatic cells and germ cells, various types of somatic cells or organs, or females and males, have different genomes. One of the sources of such differences is chromosome/DNA elimination/chromatin diminution that is a naturally programmed phenomenon. We describe chromosome/DNA elimination in various organisms and present the current hypotheses on its origin, mechanisms, significance, and consequences.
通常情况下,给定生物体的所有细胞都具有相同的染色体组。然而,这条规则也有例外,在许多生物体中,体细胞和生殖细胞、各种类型的体细胞或器官,或者雌性和雄性,具有不同的基因组。这种差异的来源之一是染色体/DNA消除/染色质消减,这是一种自然编程的现象。我们描述了各种生物体中的染色体/DNA消除,并提出了关于其起源、机制、意义和后果的当前假说。
