Most organisms have a species-specific number of chromosomes, an attribute known as euploidy. But a condition in which cells have an incorrect number of chromosomes — aneuploidy — also exists in ...

Chromosomes are tiny, filamentous structures in the cell nuclei of living beings. They contain genes with genetic information, for example, related to the development or control of diseases. Every ...

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 ...

A new study conducted in roundworms finds that a common plastic ingredient causes breaks in DNA strands, resulting in egg cells with the wrong number of chromosomes. A new study conducted in ...

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic ...

DigC Is Designed to Analyze CNV in a Single Cell The analysis of copy numbers of genetic sequences is of fundamental importance in biology and medicine, and Digital Counting (DigC) is a new method to ...

KIT researchers succeeded for the first time in reducing the number of chromosomes in a plant using the CRISPR/Cas method – surprisingly without affecting its growth The CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors ...
