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.

An international research collaboration has uncovered a new mechanism of the crosstalk between microtubules and actin cytoskeleton during cell division and revealed unique characteristics of the ...

Recent advances in neural network methodologies have revolutionised the analysis and classification of chromosome images, streamlining traditionally labour‐intensive processes in cytogenetics. Modern ...

The vast majority of cancer cells have too few or too many copies of some chromosomes, a state known as aneuploidy. But for decades, researchers have debated whether aneuploidy promotes the growth of ...

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 ...

Pt. A. Gene cloning -- cDNA cloning method using stable expression in mammalian cells / Toru Miki and Stuart A. Aaronson -- Normalization and selection with short-fragment cDNAs / Satish Parimoo, ...

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 ...

Genomic analysis of three Neanderthals shows unusually high modern human DNA on the X chromosome offering clues about ...

The Y chromosome is among the smallest in the human body and carries the fewest genes. Researchers are paying renewed attention to its role in cancer—specifically, what happens when it vanishes.
