Plastic chemicals may harm DNA, as new research reveals how additives disrupt nematode egg formation, suggesting risks to human reproductive health.

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

A structural abnormality can include an alteration to the structure of the chromosome, as the name suggests. However, a numerical abnormality means that an individual is either missing one of the ...

Porokeratosis subtypes include the classic porokeratosis of Mibelli, disseminated superficial porokeratosis, disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, punctate porokeratosis, porokeratosis ...

It has also been for many years realised that the behaviour of the chromosomes in mitosis-particularly their accurate longitudinal division-points to the linear arrangement of the different kinds ...

Summary: Researchers identified variants in the DDX53 gene, located on the X chromosome, as contributors to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These genetic variants, found predominantly in males, ...

Bedbugs. Just mentioning the tiny, biting insects that live on human blood and infest mattresses, couches, and bedding strikes fear into most people. In addition to the anxiety, itching, and ...

Conventional investigations of the genetic contributors to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and progression have ignored the role of the X-chromosome, primarily due to technical analysis limitations.

Suite of tools for deploying and training deep learning models using the JVM. Highlights include model import for keras, tensorflow, and onnx/pytorch, a modular and tiny c++ library for running math ...

In simulations of mitotic chromosomes, we found that alterations to LEF residence times due to LEF-LEF interactions do not enhance linear fold compaction (Figure 2—figure supplement 6). Moreover, ...
