This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a functional version on the other. But during tumour formation, the cancer cells can end up with only the faulty gene. "In ...

These CENP-A proteins ensure that divided genetic information is kept intact during mitosis.

By exploiting the genetic variation in cancer cells, an already approved cancer drug demonstrated enhanced effects against ...

The ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, shorten with age. They function like a molecular clock for the cell. Premature ...

Some chromosomes, such as B chromosomes, can increase their inheritance rate to their own advantage. These extra chromosomes are found in many plants, animals, and fungi and rely upon various ...

Large-scale multi-omics analysis of genomic high-occupancy target regions in humans suggests involvement of large transcriptional condensates.

Scientists warn that 'testicle mutations' could eradicate men. Given that experts claim testicles are crucial in developing ...

In a recent paper published in the journal Genome Research, experts described the chromatin arrangement in the genomes of two ...

Studies suggest the cell is more interconnected than previously thought, opening up "exciting possibilities for science and medicine." ...

“This work is really important because the X chromosome has largely been excluded from genetic studies in the past,” said Amy ...

To understand the workings of DNA in relation to disease, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed the first multimodal deep learning model of its kind, EPBDxDNABERT-2, capable of ...
