Japanese researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 to remove the extra chromosome 21 from cells in a lab. It’s a real breakthrough — but ...
For decades, technical limitations and entrenched expectations shaped chromosome counts, illustrating how accepted scientific ideas can persist despite conflicting evidence.
A new case report describes a fatal infant case of 19p13.3 microdeletion syndrome featuring severe cardiomegaly, ...
Loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells is common enough that roughly 40 percent of men around age 70 show it, and a review ...
When plants end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, the consequences are usually dire. Cells starved of, or overloaded ...
A new study found that cancer cells selectively chip away gene-rich sections of the Y chromosome, triggering changes that ...
The near-neutral model of B chromosome evolution predicts that population invasion is quite fast. To test this prediction, in 1994, we introduced males of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans from a ...
A new study reveals that the loss of the Y chromosome in men’s body tissue could pave the way for cancer to develop in that ...
A multi-omics study has mapped key genetic controls behind verbascoside accumulation in olive fruit, offering a clearer route from a complex metabolic trait to practical breeding targets. Verbascoside ...
A new review published in Science brings together growing evidence that the X and Y chromosomes do more than determine ...
A study initiated by Dr. Dan Theodorescu, a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona Cancer Center, revealed that the loss of the Y chromosome in men's body tissue could pave the way for ...
