Dr. Eric Levine’s cutting-edge autism research at UConn School of Medicine is reprogramming the donated skin or blood cells ...

including different aneuploidies and point mutations. One unexpected result of that study was that 10 out of 11 mutants carrying chromosomal duplications acquired during flz treatment retained this ...

Over-expression of DAX1 (through duplication of Xp21) and Wnt4 (through duplication ... Defects in any part of this pathway (including gene mutations and chromosomal abnormalities (for example, ...

The root causes of most forms of Alzheimer's disease largely remain a mystery. Now, researchers have revealed a new piece of ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

Mutations in the oncogenes may cause a cell to grow and divide too quickly. When this occurs, it may multiply at an out-of-control rate and develop into cancer. Chromosomes are threadlike ...

Researchers have identified a sex chromosome in the California two-spot octopus. This chromosome has likely been around for 480 million years, since before octopuses split apart from the nautilus on ...

While polyploidy provides genetic redundancy by allowing mutations without affecting ... and Susumu Ohno's neofunctionalization by gene duplication—are not mutually exclusive.

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

this new genetic analysis looked at the chromosomal level, the genome level, and even the nucleotides of the Chernobyl dogs, and found no abnormalities indicative of radiation-induced mutation.
