A prospective comparison of ER, PR, Ki67 and gene expression in paired sequential core biopsies of primary, untreated breast cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting ...

Depending on the type of intersex variation someone has, it could alter their chromosome makeup, genital appearance, hormonal balance, and more. Share on Pinterest Maskot/Getty Images We’re born with ...

The Layer Lab studies the ways in which genetic variation affects human health by developing computational genomics tools to analyze population-scale datasets. They are particularly interested in ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

A new study by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Science in Japan reports differences in blood cell mutations between Japanese and European populations. The study found that ...

Scientists report adaptive divergence in cryptic color pattern is underlain by two distinct, complex chromosomal rearrangements, where millions of bases of DNA were flipped backwards and moved from ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of Darwin. One focus of current debates is whether adaptive evolution relies ...
