Japanese researchers have successfully eliminated the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome using CRISPR gene ...

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

Back in 1900 the life expectancy of people with Down Syndrome was 9 years. In 1984, it was 28 years, today it's leveled off between 50 and 60 ...

Scientists are expressing concerns about male reproductive health due to the Y chromosome's genetic material loss, ...

Researchers mapped Y chromosome loss across thousands of individual cells from human cancers, with disturbing results.

They also found that after the extra chromosome was removed, genes tied to nervous system development were more active and ...

Scientists have discovered that the Y chromosome, crucial for male development, is gradually disappearing. This loss, occurring in some men's cells ar ...

For immunotherapy approaches, which aim to enhance the body’s natural anti-cancer immune responses, understanding how Y-chromosome loss affects immune function could provide crucial information.

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure ...

A comparative study shows that marine worms shattered their genome and rebuilt it in a radically different form when they first emerged from the sea 200 million years ago ...
