New research shows that the male X chromosome is silenced in some types of cancer. Researchers evaluated how a certain gene affects the male X chromosome in cancer cells. Experts explain why these new ...

A new study has found that the X chromosome, of which one copy is typically inactivated in XX female cells, can also be inactivated in some male cancers. The study is published in Cell Systems. The X ...

In recent years, scientists have begun to learn more about a type of mutation called chromothripsis that was discovered a few years ago in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The term chromothripsis ...

A quick genetics lesson is probably in order here. Every cell in a person’s body contains their genetic code, or DNA, which typically consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes — with one chromosome in each ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Chromosomes are folded into cells in a nonrandom fashion, with particular genetic loci occupying distinct spatial regions. This observation ...

Researchers have shown that men with the same British surname are highly likely to be genetically linked. The results of the research have implications in the fields of forensics, genealogy, ...
