Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape ...
A new layer in the complex organization of chromosomes has been discovered. Scientists have now shown that chromosomes fold in a series of contiguous "yarns" that harbor groups of genes and regulatory ...
Variations in the properties of arabica coffee, such as in taste, caffeine content and disease resistance, are determined by chromosome mutations, according to a recent study. But are these findings ...
In this study, we further demonstrate that the contiguous genomic representation of only one of the partner genes of a chimeric fusion on the capture microarray assay was sufficient to identify also ...
A prospective comparison of ER, PR, Ki67 and gene expression in paired sequential core biopsies of primary, untreated breast cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting ...
Chromosomal rearrangements have a relevant role in organismic evolution. However, little is known about the mechanisms that lead different phylogenetic clades to have different chromosomal ...
Clinicians have found, for example, that the gene expression profile of a breast cancer cell can tell them which treatments work best. This indicates, Duesberg said, that chromosomal disruption, which ...
Patterns of distant metastases in HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a full text ...
An international study has identified more than 50 genes on the X chromosome in which mutations may cause poor sperm production. Nearly half of all men with low or zero sperm count have no medical ...
Healthy cells work hard to maintain the integrity of our DNA, but occasionally, a chromosome can get separated from the others and break apart during cell division. The tiny fragments of DNA then get ...
A molecular biologists has long believed that cancer results from chromosome disruption rather than a handful of gene mutations, which is the dominant theory today. That idea has led him to propose ...
