DigC Is Designed to Analyze CNV in a Single Cell The analysis of copy numbers of genetic sequences is of fundamental importance in biology and medicine, and Digital Counting (DigC) is a new method to ...

Varying between organisms, the number of chromosomes, the structures of organised and packaged DNA information, are normally a constant amount, thus allowing for the successful reproduction of a ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

The current study shows that cells with additional chromosomes have an altered mitochondrial structure and function. The reason: mitochondrial precursor proteins are sequestered in p62-positive ...

The Atlas blue butterfly, also known as Polyommatus atlantica, has been genetically confirmed as having the highest number of chromosomes out of all multicellular animals in the world. Subscribe to ...

Scientists have confirmed that the Atlas blue butterfly carries the most chromosomes of any animal, with 229 pairs. Unlike duplication, its chromosomes split apart, reshaping its genome in surprising ...

An unassuming starfish species found around the world has a shocking amount of DNA hidden inside its cells. The brooding brittle star (Amphipholis squamata), which has a tiny disk-shaped body and long ...

Cancer cells with extra chromosomes depend on those chromosomes for tumor growth, a new Yale study reveals, and eliminating them prevents the cells from forming tumors. The findings, said the ...
