Comparative analysis of complete genome sequences for several mammals is predicted to provide greater understanding of biological processes and impact on human health. In an Advanced Early Publication ...

Researchers for the first time have successfully fused two chromosomes in mice and shown that the new karyotype can be transmitted to offspring. The researchers used a strategy that involved haploid ...

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 ...
