Researchers say study represents a resource that could also help to dissect Y-gene functions in other tissues.

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...

Scientists found that healthy women can carry genetic changes in their breast cells that are thought to be characteristic of invasive breast cancer.
