Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a simple and economical technique for imaging and mapping fruit fly chromosomes. This new approach will enable them to construct the first ...

37 CA repeats, 5 STSs, 9 ESTs, and 4 genes were mapped to 19 different intervals of chromosome 13 determined by the cytogenetic breakpoints of 19 different cell lines with interstitial deletions or ...

Chromosome 11 consists of approximately 144 Mb of DNA [1], representing around 5% of the human genome. Meiotic linkage analysis suggests a sex-averaged genetic map of approximately 162 cM [2]. The ...

FindingsReveal Ability to Detect Structural Variations in Human Genomes, Providing Researchers with a New Tool toInvestigate the Causes of Genetic Diseases Gaithersburg, Md.-February 15,2012- ...

How do the chromosomal DNA molecules that encode the genome, that measure almost two meters, fit into cells that are a fraction of the size? The answer lies in the spatial organization of chromosomal ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

In what might be a surprise for some, the male sex chromosome is far more complex than its female counterpart. This is why it’s taken scientists so long to work out exactly what makes a male a male.

Genome analysis can provide information on genes and their location on a strand of DNA, but such analysis reveals little about their spatial location in relation to one another within chromosomes -- ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole chromosomes, changes that help tumors grow, adapt and resist treatment. In ...
