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 ...

The chromosome features a 24-centiMorgan (cM) inversion between Trp53 (also known as p53) and Wnt3 on mouse chromosome 11 that is recessive lethal and dominantly marked with a K14-Agouti transgene2.

Syntato, a new spinout emerging from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), announces securing funding from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). The contract with ARIA will ...

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, according ...

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 ...

With age, genes on the previously inactive second X chromosome in female mice increasingly escape silencing, doubling from 3% to 6% overall and reaching up to 9% in some organs.

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 ...
