The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

Moreover, a very large part of the Y chromosome that was missing from the previous version of the Y reference is satellite DNA – large, highly repetitive regions of non-protein-coding DNA. On the Y ...

Fulgent Genetics is evolving into a precision medicine player with strong cash reserves, despite expected near-term losses.

Males imprint their DNA by adding methyl modifications to it in a way that alters the activity of genes in order to promote ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

The study appears in Nature.. The research focused on parts of chromosomes known as human accelerated regions (HARs), which have evolved most rapidly since humans split from chimpanzees on the ...

The most important part of the Y chromosome is the master sex gene called SRY, which triggers a fetus' development as a biological male. "The X and Y were once upon a time just an ordinary pair of ...

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused when part of chromosome 4 is deleted during a baby’s development. Find out if it can be prevented and treated.

Sure enough, the newborn was diagnosed with Chromosome Deletion Syndrome, which results from a loss of parts of chromosomes. Depending on the location and size, there are several known variations ...

We were previously blind to different parts of the genome and different mutations, but now that we can see the whole genome, we hope we can add new insights to the genetics of a lot of different ...

The Y chromosome is the smallest chromosome, and holds the least amount of genes, but scientists are still learning about all of its biological functions. Research has shown that many men start to ...

Moreover, a very large part of the Y chromosome that was missing from the previous version of the Y reference is satellite DNA – large, highly repetitive regions of non-protein-coding DNA. On the Y ...
