Translocations are usually detected when a cytogeneticist examines a karyotype, which is an ordered arrangement of an individual's metaphase chromosomes. In standard karyotypes, chromosomes that ...

the concept of linear gene arrangement along strands of DNA has held up over other models. Even though chromosomes are highly compacted due to supercoiling, at the level of DNA, genes are arranged ...

Increased risk for autism appears to be linked to the Y chromosome, a Geisinger Health System study has found, offering a new explanation for the greater prevalence of autism in males. The results ...

Its chromosome arrangements are affected by active forces on the genome and their hydrodynamic interactions.

Changes in either chromosome structure or number can occur during cell division. Each human has 46 chromosomes, 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX: female or XY: male).
