Now, Page and former postdoc in his lab Laura Blanton have built on that work by measuring the effects of the sex chromosomes ...

Trisomy is a genetic condition characterized by the presence of an extra chromosome. This means that the affected person has ...

Scientists in Japan have used gene-editing technology to remove the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome, at least ...

Researchers mapped Y chromosome loss across thousands of individual cells from human cancers, with disturbing results.

Every healthy human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, which must be duplicated and distributed evenly between two daughter cells during a process known as cell division.However, if something ...

Research indicates women generally outlive men due to biological advantages. Genetics, hormones, and anatomical differences ...

Researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute have discovered a previously unknown protein that is central to plant reproduction.

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells. Researchers at RPTU have now ...

A new paper describes how scientists used the tool to identify an important role for TRIM24 in mediating telomere repair after cells divide.

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap — the telomere — is worn away. Most cells use ...
