Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

Metaphase cells from an untreated acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patient were analyzed using spectral karyotype (SKY) analysis. a) The chromosomes were first stained with a mixture of labeled probes ...

“Our work is the first to directly test how chromosome structure affects bacterial growth, survival, and ability to cause ...

New research shows that the male X chromosome is silenced in some types of cancer. Researchers evaluated how a certain gene affects the male X chromosome in cancer cells. Experts explain why these new ...

A new study has found that the X chromosome, of which one copy is typically inactivated in XX female cells, can also be inactivated in some male cancers. The study is published in Cell Systems. The X ...

In recent years, scientists have begun to learn more about a type of mutation called chromothripsis that was discovered a few years ago in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The term chromothripsis ...

We previously reported suggestive linkage between type 2 diabetes and markers in a region on chromosome 20q using data from a collection of 29 Caucasian families in which type 2 diabetes with ...
