STUDIES of human chromosomes have been greatly facilitated by the development of newer technics, particularly peripheral blood leukocyte culture. 1–3 Many abnormalities have been described, most of ...

Metaphase cells from an untreated acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patient were analyzed using spectral karyotype (SKY) analysis. a) The chromosomes were first stained with a mixture of labeled probes ...

New research shows that the male X chromosome is silenced in some types of cancer. Researchers evaluated how a certain gene affects the male X chromosome in cancer cells. Experts explain why these new ...

The common dual-chromosome type was edited to have two circular chromosomes instead of one circle and one linear. The variant with one fused linear chromosome was edited to instead have one circular ...

A new study has found that the X chromosome, of which one copy is typically inactivated in XX female cells, can also be inactivated in some male cancers. The study is published in Cell Systems. The X ...

Genetic testing is a minimally invasive medical test that doctors use to identify genetic mutations or variants that can lead to certain diseases or conditions. Doctors use various types of genetic ...

A new computational tool developed by researchers has uncovered genetic evidence directly linking Alzheimer’s disease to the ...
