Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Ludwig Center uncovered new evidence that extra copies of a ...

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 loss of the Y chromosome in tumour cells is linked to poor outcomes for people with cancer 1, but this genetic alteration might also compromise immune cells that would otherwise fight the disease.

Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape ...

Two different types of centromeres evolved from a monocentromere, a macro-monocentromere in Cha. luteum and a holocentromere in Chi. japonica. Micrographs show mitotic chromosomes. The centromere is ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens magnified 15,000 times in an image captured earlier this year with a scanning electron microscope at Iowa State University's Roy J. Carver High Resolution Microscopy Facility ...

New @hopkinskimmel research finds extra copies of chromosome 1q may drive the earliest stages of pancreatic cancer. › ...

Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure share a genetic link, according to new research from the University of Surrey, U.K., and the Université de Lille, France. In a large-scale study, scientists ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...
