For the first time in humans, researchers have discovered a large chromosomal rearrangement that bears the mark of natural selection, they report in the February issue of Nature Genetics. The ...
Highly challenging to sequence and long overlooked, the human Y chromosome's contributions to health and disease remain largely unknown. A new paper that presents, for the first time, the complete ...
Chromosomal rearrangements involving additional material in individuals with phenotypic alterations usually result in partial trisomy, often accompanied by partial monosomy. To characterize ...

Robertsonian chromosomes (ROB) are a type of structurally variant chromosome that is created when two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. Found commonly in nature, these chromosomes are ...
The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has ...
Neanderthals, the closest cousins of modern humans, lived in parts of Europe and Asia until their extinction some 30,000 years ago. Genetic studies are revealing ever more about the links between ...
