The Y chromosome is about one-third the size of the X and contains far fewer genes. Now, scientists have found that this ...

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and Linköping University in Sweden have discovered how cells prevent ...

Translocations are indeed common in cancer cells, and some translocations produce oncogenes that are responsible for malignant transformation. Translocations involving human chromosomes are of ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair.

The research focused on parts of chromosomes known as human accelerated ... of HARs in artificial neurons derived from human and chimpanzee cell lines. The human and chimpanzee genomes are 99% ...

A new model of tiny human ovary organoids, or ovaroids, has been developed from stem cells, according to research presented ...

An advanced genomic analysis of a multigenerational family is providing new knowledge about genetic mutations and their ...

This illustration shows the structure of a chromosome, highlighting how DNA is tightly packed around disc-shaped proteins to form the characteristic X-shaped figure seen during cell division. (Image: ...

Why are the human sex chromosomes called “X” and “Y,” while the other 22 chromosomes are identified only by numbers? The answer begins in the late 1800s, when insect gonad cells, whose large ...

Consequently, this led to increased embryonic lethality. With BBP exposure increasing germ cell death and impaired chromosome integrity, she sought to identify the genes associated with this process.
