Japanese researchers have successfully eliminated the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome using CRISPR gene ...

They also found that after the extra chromosome was removed, genes tied to nervous system development were more active and ...

The loss of the Y chromosome in tumour cells is linked to poor outcomes for people with cancer 1, but this genetic alteration might also compromise immune cells that would otherwise fight the disease.

When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss ...

Figure 1: How a single crossover between a wild-type chromosome and a paracentric inversion (an inversion that does not span the centromere) leads to inviable dicentric and acentric products.

The project centers around automation of plant cell culture work, facilitating high-throughput assessment of chromosome design prototypes. To enable this work, Syntato has partnered with Briefly ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During mitosis, centromeres serve as assembly sites for complex protein ...

Unlike men, who carry one X and one Y chromosome, women have two X chromosomes in each cell. However, one of the two X chromosomes is effectively silenced. It folds into a compact structure known ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure ...

A new paper published in Nature on June 4 shines light on how an enigmatic part of male aging—the loss of Y chromosomes—is connected with a higher risk of dying from cancer. In an analysis of ...
