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 ...

Chromosome sorting from fluid suspensions of metaphase chromosomes using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter has been used for a number of years to produce chromosome-specific genomic libraries and ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have finally uncovered the exact DNA sequence where human chromosomes fuse to form Robertsonian chromosomes, a mystery that has puzzled researchers for over a century. Using advanced genome ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
