New research published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia provides evidence that genetic variations related to brain fluid movement ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Germline and somatic variants are inherently connected. All germline variants originate as de novo somatic mutations either in ...

A team of researchers have generated the first complete chromosome sequences from non-human primates. Published in Nature, these sequences uncover remarkable variation between the Y chromosomes of ...

Most genetic testing of cancer cells focuses on individual point mutations, single spots in the genome where a base pair has ...

Despite their critical role in encoding genetic information, chromosomes frequently mis-segregate during human meiosis, producing abnormalities in chromosome number—a phenomenon termed aneuploidy.

Human sex chromosomes originated from a pair of autosomes, the ordinary or non-sex chromosomes that contain the majority of our genome and come in identical pairs. That ancestral pair of autosomes ...

Advancements in genome sequencing have challenged the long-standing belief that the position of the centromere in the chromosome is fixed. Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, have analyzed ...
