For reference, a normal human X chromosome is also shown (X). For the X;22 (case 68) and X;14 (case 4) translocations involving band Xq13, the autosomal protion of the translocation chromosomes is ...

Researchers created artificial kinetochore structures that reduce chromosome separation errors during meiosis in aging egg cells. By lowering microtubule pulling force, the approach helped maintain ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who enter remission with abnormal chromosomes in bone marrow cells are twice as vulnerable to recurrence of their disease as are AML ...

A tension-sensitive "fail safe" protein helps make sure that when our cells divide the two resulting cells inherit the normal number of chromosomes, researchers from the University of Washington and ...

For sexual reproduction to yield healthy offspring, newly generated oocytes—immature egg cells—must receive the correct amount of DNA after cell division. This process of segregating chromosomes ...

I still recall my disappointment one day in 2015. I received the tumor DNA sequencing results for one of my patients, whose cancer had spread from her lungs to her brain. I saw not a single genetic ...

DENVER -- Genetic testing and algorithms revealed that over 1% of more than 96,000 blastocyst-stage embryos had ploidy abnormalities, or atypical numbers of chromosomes. In total, ploidy abnormalities ...

Seattle biotech company Phase Genomics announced Wednesday that it received two National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants totaling $3.9 million. The funding, which runs for three years, will help pay ...
