Instead, chromosome changes tend to move along a restricted set of irreversible pathways that the researchers describe as "evolutionary highways."

Some clades occupy highly isolated parts of the genome map because their chromosome architecture has few close parallels.

Because the process cannot be reversed, a major chromosome detour can permanently influence where a lineage ends up in what researchers describe as "genome-architecture space."

Occasionally, however, something goes wrong during division, leaving cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes.

To study the consequences of these abnormalities, Cimini's team manipulated diploid cancer cells so they would duplicate their chromosomes without completing cell division.

A human, an octopus, and a coral may appear to have almost nothing in common, but their chromosomes still contain recognizable fragments inherited from an animal ancestor that lived more than 600 million years ago.

They can reveal which genes an animal possesses without showing exactly where those genes are positioned along its chromosomes.
