Recent advances in neural network methodologies have revolutionised the analysis and classification of chromosome images, streamlining traditionally labour‐intensive processes in cytogenetics. Modern ...

The vast majority of cancer cells have too few or too many copies of some chromosomes, a state known as aneuploidy. But for decades, researchers have debated whether aneuploidy promotes the growth of ...

Now that certain human disorders have been linked with chromosome abnormalities, it is desirable to examine large numbers of cells for such abnormalities. A computer regime has been devised for the ...

The Y chromosome is perhaps the most puzzling part of the human genome. Associated with male development, it is chock-full of repetitive and inverted stretches of DNA, a hurdle that makes it ...

As men get older, something surprising can happen inside their bodies at the microscopic level. Some of their cells begin to ...

A study explains how broken DNA during cell division can trigger chromoanasynthesis when two repair pathways combine, causing ...

Background Chromosome 19 is the most gene-dense chromosome in the human genome, with a high frequency of segmental ...

Computational methods used to fill in missing pixels in low-quality images or video also can help scientists provide missing information for how DNA is organized in the cell, computational biologists ...

Genomic analysis of three Neanderthals shows unusually high modern human DNA on the X chromosome offering clues about ...

OUR society maintains rigid standards for legacies and "normal" families, standards it imposes heavily on men, yet it is ...
