Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) could be useful tools for both understanding how mammalian chromosomes function and creating synthetic biological systems, but for the last 20 years, they have been ...
Numerous studies have shown that men are more susceptible to cancer than women; however, the reason for this difference remains poorly understood. A new study by researchers from the Barcelona ...
The human Y chromosome, responsible for male sex determination, has forfeited 97% of its ancestral genes over the past 300 ...
Chromosomes are arguably one of the most important structures inside cells. Several meters of DNA are compacted into micrometer-sized assemblies in every human cell. Recent advances in our ...
Molecular biologists long thought that domains in the genome's 3D organisation control how genes are expressed. After studying highly rearranged chromosomes in fruit flies, EMBL researchers now reveal ...
