Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on ...
A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...
The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...
A study explains how broken DNA during cell division can trigger chromoanasynthesis when two repair pathways combine, causing ...
Genomic analysis of three Neanderthals shows unusually high modern human DNA on the X chromosome offering clues about ...
Neanderthals, the closest cousins of modern humans, lived in parts of Europe and Asia until their extinction some 30,000 years ago. Genetic studies are revealing ever more about the links between ...
On the flipside, if telomeres are too long, it can also spell trouble because cancer cells require long telomeres to become ...
When closely related species mate, their offspring sometimes survive but cannot reproduce. This pattern often affects males ...

Research finds chromosomes are covered in liquid-like coating to prevent stickiness and DNA damage
New research into mitotic chromosomes has found that they are covered in a liquid-like coating that could allow them to bounce off one another, like bumper cars, protecting them from being damaged ...
