Evolutionary chromosomal changes may take a million years in nature, but researchers are now reporting a novel technique enabling programmable chromosome fusion that has successfully produced mice ...

Cancer researchers have long treated genetic chaos and epigenetic rewiring as separate engines of disease, two parallel ...

A team of the University of Barcelona and the Biomedical Research Institute of Barcelona (IRB Barcelona) has designed a new bioinformatics tool to identify the chromosomal alterations that are ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - New research suggests that airline pilots with long-term flying experience may be exposed to higher than average levels of radiation, resulting in more chromosomal ...

As with most cancers, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells have abnormal amounts of chromosomes or DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs) in their genomes. A new study used single cell sequencing ...

Chromosomal aberrations, encompassing both structural and numerical chromosome abnormalities, are fundamental indicators of genomic instability with far‐reaching implications for cancer risk. These ...

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of tumor and is responsible for around 10% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The tumor is particularly dangerous when it forms metastases—i.e.

Sex-chromosomes and rapid changes in sex hormones during adolescence may drive changes in regulatory T-cell frequency and function, according to data published in The Lancet Rheumatology. The ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

Ewing sarcoma develops due to genetic causes that include changes to a person’s DNA and chromosomes. It more often affects teenagers and young adults, males, and white people. The exact cause of Ewing ...

Stefan Fröhling, M.D., and Hartmut Döhner, M.D. The cause of chromosomal abnormalities remains poorly understood. Studies of various types of leukemia have shown that certain environmental and ...
