Advancements in genome sequencing have challenged the long-standing belief that the position of the centromere in the chromosome is fixed. Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, have analyzed ...
Durham, N.C. – The first comprehensive survey of gene activity in the X chromosomes of women has revealed an unexpected level of variation among individuals, according to new work by researchers at ...
A prospective comparison of ER, PR, Ki67 and gene expression in paired sequential core biopsies of primary, untreated breast cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting ...
Pregnancy loss remains common around the world. About 15 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, although the true number is likely much higher, since many pregnancies are lost before they ...
The study of cytogenetics in Hymenoptera reveals a remarkable diversity in chromosomal number, structure and organisation across ants, bees and wasps. Research in this field has illuminated how ...
A 3D graphic showing an artist's interpretation of human X and Y chromosomes. On the left are blue bundles of genetic material making an X shape and on the right blue bundles of genetic material ...
Highly challenging to sequence and long overlooked, the human Y chromosome's contributions to health and disease remain largely unknown. A new paper that presents, for the first time, the complete ...
