In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

Until now, the Y chromosome portion of the human genome has contained large gaps which made it difficult to understand variation and associated disease. The structure of the Y chromosome has been ...

Changes to the structure of a chromosome or abnormalities in the number of chromosomes present can also cause health conditions and some of these are described below. Changes in chromosome 2 have ...

These motors play distinct roles in manipulating chromosome structure. Swimming motors, similar to RNA polymerases - enzymes that copy DNA sequences into RNA - help expand and contract the ...

For decades, the Y chromosome — one of the two human sex chromosomes — has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

The Y chromosome is unusually repetitive, making it particularly difficult to sequence and assemble; it contains a complex repeat structure that includes long palindromes, tandem repeats ...
