This video segment from NOVA: "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" reveals how genetic evidence helped to confirm an important component of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection: ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...

Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

Most chromosomes have been around for millions of years. Now, researchers have revealed the dynamics of a new, very young chromosome in fruit flies that is similar to chromosomes that arise in humans ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole ...

Every human cell has a pair of chromosomes that give your body a blueprint for how to grow and develop starting as a single cell inside a uterus. But in a new study from the Cedars-Sinai cancer center ...

Mosaic trisomy 8 is a rare genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome. Sometimes called trisomy 8 mosaicism, this condition develops well before birth. It's a result of an abnormality in how ...

Nearly two decades ago, Australian evolutionary biologist Professor Jenny Graves sparked one of the most persistent genetic debates of our time. In a commentary that followed her 2002 research, she ...
