Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...

Kansas City, MO—September 24, 2025—Open a high school biology textbook, and you’ll see human chromosomes lined up two by two, like socks in a drawer. But in about one out of every 800 people, two ...

Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures in each of your cells that contain DNA, the code for all life. DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have 46 chromosomes ...

DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...

Neil Hunter, a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, has discovered a crucial step in how chromosomes stay connected during the development for egg cells and sperm, ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister ...
