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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Robertsonian chromosomes are associated with infertility and Down syndrome, now cutting-edge DNA sequencing technology has unveiled the first comprehensive picture of their genetic rearrangements.
