A condition known as Robertsonian translocation occurs when the long arms of two chromosomes join together. The characterization of the fully sequenced and assembled fused chromosomes reveals a common ...
There are two types of chromatin, euchromatin and heterochromatin, that vary with the stages of the cell cycle. In particular, euchromatin with rich active genes localizes to the interior of the ...
DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...
A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy ...
A microscopic piece of genetic material known as the Y chromosome made headlines last week. It is nothing new or rare; every man has one in practically every cell, or he would not be a man. But a few ...
Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To ...
The Atlas blue butterfly, also known as Polyommatus atlantica, has been genetically confirmed as having the highest number of chromosomes out of all multicellular animals in the world. This insect ...
