Most chromosomes have been around for millions of years. Now, researchers have revealed the dynamics of a new, very young chromosome in fruit flies that is similar to chromosomes that arise in humans ...

Chromosomes are a highly condensed form of DNA and are crucial for cell division. During mitosis, chromosomes ensure that the genetic material is equally divided among the daughter cells.

In about one out of every 800 people, two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. These are known as Robertsonian chromosomes. It's a mystery that has long stumped scientists. Now, ...

Robertsonian chromosomes (ROB) are a type of structurally variant chromosome that is created when two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. Found commonly in nature, these chromosomes are ...

I still recall my disappointment one day in 2015. I received the tumor DNA sequencing results for one of my patients, whose cancer had spread from her lungs to her brain. I saw not a single genetic ...

Mitotic chromosomes are pivotal for the inheritance of genetic material. Now, it is already known that chromosomes vary in dimensions among organisms. But what governs mitotic chromosomal size and ...
