Aneuploidy Causes Tissue-Specific Qualitative Changes in Global Gene Expression Patterns in Maize  

Abstract excerpt

Segmental aneuploidy refers to the relative excess or deficiency of specific chromosome regions. This condition results in gene dosage imbalance and often causes severe phenotypic alterations in plants and animals. The mechanisms by which gene dosage imbalance affects gene expression and phenotype are not completely clear. The effects of aneuploidy on the transcriptome may depend on the types of cells analyzed...
