Since the 1 920s, when researchers began to study chromosomes, the analysis of human chromosomes has presented a particularly tough technological challenge, simply because there are so many of them.

Until recently, about half of the human Y chromosome was missing from the reference genome. Now, scientists have sequenced this chromosome from end to end. Credit: National Human Genome Research ...

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, ...

Tokyo, Japan – Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used machine learning to automate the identification of defects in sister chromatid cohesion. They trained a convolutional neural ...

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 ...

The findings shed new light on human reproduction and suggest pathways for developing treatments to lower the risk of ...

Conventional investigations of the genetic contributors to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and progression have ignored the role of the X-chromosome, primarily due to technical analysis limitations. To ...
