Whenever a cell divides, it has to split its chromosomes perfectly between two daughter cells, and even a single mistake can be disastrous. Now, researchers from Japan have found that one of the key ...

A chromosome-mapping study and literature synthesis found variation in the number, position and synteny of 5S and 35S rDNA ...

Japanese researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 to remove the extra chromosome 21 from cells in a lab. It's a real breakthrough — but not a Down syndrome cure, and not a new 2026 treatment.

A seven-year case study of a prenatal 19p13.3–p13.2 duplication found persistent developmental and growth problems alongside ...

Researchers at Texas A&M, partnering with the Twin Pine Conservation Institute , or TPCI, have developed the first detailed chromosome map of the aardwolf, ...

Research suggests X and Y chromosomes may influence aging and disease risk, beyond determining biological sex.

Prognosis is poor for tumours with Y-chromosome loss. Examining the interplay between cancer and immune cells sheds light on potential mechanisms. Read the paper: Concurrent loss of the Y chromosome ...

Single deletions may be asymptomatic, but 'multiple deletions lead to infertility'—Mouse study with comprehensive deletion of ...

"X and Y chromosomes are often thought of as simple determinants for biological sex, but their role in human health is much ...

Results provide framework for uncovering regulatory variants in other X chromosome neurodevelopmental genes that may ...
