In yesterday’s Sciencexpress, researchers described the most complete annotation of human chromosome 7 to date. Capitalizing on the availability of clinical and medical information from a variety of ...

Human egg cells are often prone to chromosomal errors. As women age, the error rate increases sharply — and can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and ...

A microscopic piece of genetic material known as the Y chromosome made headlines last week. It is nothing new or rare; every man has one in practically every cell, or he would not be a man. But a few ...
