Recent advances in neural network methodologies have revolutionised the analysis and classification of chromosome images, streamlining traditionally labour‐intensive processes in cytogenetics. Modern ...

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, ...

WALNUT CREEK, CA-- Four years after publicly revealing the official draft human genetic sequence, researchers have reached the halfway point in dotting the i's and crossing the t's of the genetic ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

The Y chromosome is perhaps the most puzzling part of the human genome. Associated with male development, it is chock-full of repetitive and inverted stretches of DNA, a hurdle that makes it ...

Now that certain human disorders have been linked with chromosome abnormalities, it is desirable to examine large numbers of cells for such abnormalities. A computer regime has been devised for the ...

Sex chromosomes are chromosomes, or packages of DNA, that are found inside the nucleus of all of your cells. There are two different kinds: X and Y, which determine whether you’re biologically male ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 90, No. 6 (Mar. 15, 1993), pp. 2509-2511 (3 pages) Scanning force microscopy was used to analyze banded human ...

Computational methods used to fill in missing pixels in low-quality images or video also can help scientists provide missing information for how DNA is organized in the cell, computational biologists ...

Scientists have completed the final analysis of two more human chromosomes. Chromosome 19 with nearly 1,500 genes, including some linked to high cholesterol and insulin-resistant diabetes, is the most ...

Doctors in Brazil discover and confirm that a woman has blood with male chromosomes, a rare case of human chimerism.
