Researchers at Trinity have found that a largely overlooked form of cancer evolution, which drives aggressive disease and poor patient outcomes, is far more widespread than previously thought.

Writing in EMBO reports, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health describe how a pair of fundamental genetic and cellular ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what the mechanisms, or the causes behind those specific genetic changes, are.

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

A new prenatal test developed by researchers at Columbia University Fertility Center can determine if a fetus or embryo has the right number of chromosomes at a fraction of the time and cost of ...

Stefan Fröhling, M.D., and Hartmut Döhner, M.D. The cause of chromosomal abnormalities remains poorly understood. Studies of various types of leukemia have shown that certain environmental and ...

A chromosome is a package of DNA that exists inside the nucleus of a cell. A karyotype refers to the unique collection of chromosomes present in a person’s cells. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a ...

Abnormalities in the structure of chromosomes within someone’s genetic makeup are called structural chromosomal abnormalities. Robertsonian translocations are very rare structural chromosomal ...

Researchers describe how malignancies leverage evolution and basic cellular functions to promote immune dysfunction and a better future for themselves. Writing in EMBO reports, researchers at ...
