Among the many marvels of life is the cell’s ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

STUDIES of human chromosomes have been greatly facilitated by the development of newer technics, particularly peripheral blood leukocyte culture.1 2 3 Many abnormalities have been described, most o ...

We previously reported suggestive linkage between type 2 diabetes and markers in a region on chromosome 20q using data from a collection of 29 Caucasian families in which type 2 diabetes with ...

The first type has a normal haploid set of chromosomes. Fertilization of this type of gamete by a normal gamete will result in offspring of normal karyotype and phenotype — for example, III-6.

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

Earlobes of such type are small in size and are attached directly to the side of the head. This kind of lobe's structural formation is due to the absence of the dominant allele in the chromosomes.

A combination of genetics and drinking instant coffee is linked to an increased risk of developing a common form of age-related macular degeneration, a new study has found.

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 ...

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 work started with the serious business of laugh collection. Dr Kamiloglu instructed research assistants to search YouTube, a video platform, for footage featuring spontaneous laughter. They ...

There are three main types of color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency. Keep reading to learn about the different types and their causes.
