A Nature study reveals how hidden DNA repair safeguards protect chromosomes for decades, explaining infertility, miscarriages ...

The unveiling of the DNA sequences of human chromosomes represents a new chapter in the unfolding story of genomics, but one with roots in the half-century-old field of cytogenetics. Chromosome-level ...

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things — including a crucial event that happened while she was still growing inside her own mother’s womb.

Each known chromosome 21 gene and predicted open reading frame (ORF), identified using MWG-Biotech's non-redundant proprietary database, is represented once in the array by a 40-nucleotide-long ...

In about one out of every 800 people, two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. These are known as Robertsonian chromosomes. It's a mystery that has long stumped scientists.

Human fertility hinges on a delicate molecular ballet that begins even before birth. UC Davis researchers have uncovered how special protein networks safeguard chromosomes as eggs and sperm form, ...
