Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed. This loss has been linked to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and ...

The aim of this study was to identify maize haploid plants and compare the efficiency of identification of maize haploid plants using the R1-nj morphological marker, plant vigor, flow cytometry, ...

A team of Moroccan and international researchers has produced the first near-complete, chromosome-scale genome of the argan tree, a development expected to advance conservation and breeding efforts ...

The vast dataset allowed the Johns Hopkins University-led team to demonstrate robust connections between specific variations in a mother's DNA and their risk of miscarriage. The findings shed new ...

System schematic for automatic detection of sister chromatid exchanges. Machine learning techniques have been used to develop a set of algorithms that can identify and count SCEs in microscopy images.

Doctors in Brazil found that a 35-year-old woman’s blood carried male chromosomes, even though her body looked entirely female. The mismatch surfaced after a pregnancy loss, when clinicians ordered ...

I noticed that more recent releases support only 10k contigs/scaffolds/chromosomes. This is because the MAX_CHROMOSOME_COUNT = 10000 was introduced in a change. Is ...

Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), a tuberous root native to the Andean region, is cultivated in various countries and is valued as a functional and medicinal food due to its nutraceutical properties.

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells. Researchers at RPTU have now investigated the detailed effects of such imbalances ...

The current study shows that cells with additional chromosomes have an altered mitochondrial structure and function. The reason: mitochondrial precursor proteins are sequestered in p62-positive ...

Around 3.7 billion years ago, early molecules on the young Earth learned to copy themselves. Over time, this simple act of replication – with help from chance and chemistry – blossomed into the plants ...
