Researchers at a lab in Kansas City believe they have made a breakthrough discovery in understanding infertility.

Translocation is a genetic abnormality in which part of a chromosome moves to another chromosome. Chromosomes are genetic structures within cells that hold genes. When translocation occurs, it causes ...

A condition known as Robertsonian translocation occurs when the long arms of two chromosomes join together. The characterization of the fully sequenced and assembled fused chromosomes reveals a common ...

Translocations are chromosomal "cut and paste" errors that drive many lymphomas, a type of blood cancer and the sixth most common form of cancer overall. This includes mantle cell lymphoma, a rare but ...

When couples have trouble conceiving a baby or lose a pregnancy, they often undergo routine tests, which can turn up a shock: One of the prospective parents may be missing a chromosome. The most ...

Recent studies have revealed a surprising diversity of sex chromosomes in vertebrates. However, the detailed mechanism of their turnover is still elusive. To understand this process, it is necessary ...

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 ...

Stowers Institute researchers identified the precise fusion point of a chromosome variant that may contribute to infertility ...
