New research into mitotic chromosomes has found that they are covered in a liquid-like coating that could allow them to bounce off one another, like bumper cars, protecting them from being damaged ...

Genetics research reveals how diverse complex biological systems are. Diversity and collaboration make for more thorough and ...

This image shows chromosomes in the pancreatic cancer cell line, where mixed colors indicate chromosomal rearrangements. For ...

In an effort to foster progress in cancer research, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is releasing detailed and comprehensive data about the entire genetic content of a ...

We don't know exactly why men are taller than women on average, but we have some genetic clues. On average, human males tend ...

By focusing on twins and patients with lupus and Parkinson’s disease, a Mexican consortium is generating critical data to understand health and disease in the country.

Interestingly, the gene that encodes the ZNF280A protein resides on chromosome 22 at the 22q11.2 locus, the same genetic locus that is lost in a subset of 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome patients.

Now, researchers have identified a Y chromosome-linked gene, UTY (ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat containing Y-linked), as a key driver of valve calcification in males.

Abstract Sequence-specific DNA recognition underlies essential processes in gene regulation, yet methods for simultaneous prediction of genomic DNA recognition sites and their binding affinity remain ...
