New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

They also found that after the extra chromosome was removed, genes tied to nervous system development were more active and ...

Cells are constantly subjected to DNA damage from a range of internal and environmental sources. It is estimated that cells ...

The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind today introduced AlphaGenome, a new artificial intelligence tool that can comprehensively ...

Researchers mapped Y chromosome loss across thousands of individual cells from human cancers, with disturbing results.

The loss of the Y chromosome in tumour cells is linked to poor outcomes for people with cancer 1, but this genetic alteration might also compromise immune cells that would otherwise fight the ...

Artificial human DNA, or synthetic DNA (synDNA), would be made without biological parents by instead using chemicals. SynHG ...

Scientists have discovered that the Y chromosome, crucial for male development, is gradually disappearing. This loss, occurring in some men's cells ar ...

Biological science has made such astonishing leaps in the last few decades, such as precise gene editing, that scientists are ...

Back in 1900 the life expectancy of people with Down Syndrome was 9 years. In 1984, it was 28 years, today it's leveled off ...
