BBP exposure causes chromosome organization defects in the female germline. Carnoy’s fixed and DAPI-stained images of gonads at the pachytene stage following exposure to DMSO or BBP. Images represent ...

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 ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The use of in vitro fertilization (IVF) or another assisted fertility technique called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to conceive appears to increase the odds of Y ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have identified a gene that causes heart defects in Down syndrome, a condition that results from an additional copy of chromosome 21. Reducing the ...

When I was a child, the doctors told my parents that I would never graduate high school, never hold down a job and never be able to drive. Why? Because I am approximately one out of every 4,000 people ...

Defects in chromosome segregation — a phenomenon known as chromosome instability — are a hallmark of many colon cancers. Mutations in the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) gene are found in both ...

Marijuana may damage oocytes — unfertilized eggs in female ovaries — in ways researchers worry may lead to infertility, miscarriage and possible genetic defects in babies, new research has found.

The CRISPR tool is capable of repairing the genetic defect responsible for the immune disease chronic granulomatous disease. However, researchers at the University of Zurich have now shown that there ...
