Researchers from Flinders University have found that tiny loops of genetic material, called circular RNAs, may play a role in ...

Leonardo Gomes de Lima, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate in the Gerton Lab, led the research. The findings show how these chromosome fusions form, why they remain stable, and how repetitive DNA, once ...

Researchers are now exploring how different types of repetitive DNA create genome instability and structurally variant chromosomes.

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.

Carriers of Robertsonian chromosomes are often unaware they’re different. Although generally healthy, they can be infertile ...

British inertial fusion energy developer First Light Fusion has presented the first commercially viable, reactor-compatible path to 'high gain' fusion, which it says would drastically reduce the cost ...

SANTA ANA — A 51-year-old man was convicted Tuesday of kidnapping and raping a 6-year-old girl in Santa Ana in 2012. Francisco Javier Lopez was convicted of kidnapping to commit rape, four counts of ...

Bacteria have long been a key source of lifesaving antibiotics, but most species cannot be grown in the lab—leaving their therapeutic potential untapped even as multidrug resistance becomes an ...

Scientists in Tokyo have uncovered “Inocles,” massive strands of extrachromosomal DNA hidden inside bacteria in human mouths. These giants, overlooked by traditional sequencing, could explain how oral ...
