Mosaic trisomy 8 is a rare genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome. Sometimes called trisomy 8 mosaicism, this condition develops well before birth. It's a result of an abnormality in how ...

Telomeres — the “caps” on the end of chromosomes that protect the DNA from damage — have been associated with greater longevity. In theory, longer telomeres should allow a cell to divide more times ...

There is a vast amount known about the chromosomes of animals (White, 1977), and the study of chromosomes has been central to the discipline of genetics since its early days. Similarly, chromosome ...

The manuscript addresses the 3D chromatin architecture in monocytes from patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis and its relationship to enhanced transcription of innate immune genes. While the ...

Abstract: A novel chromosome generation method is proposed for the genetic algorithm (GA) that optimizes the antenna configuration of small planar and meander line antennas. A maze-generating ...

Triploidy is a condition that affects 1% to 3% of pregnancies. It’s when a developing baby has an extra set of chromosomes, the thread-like structures that carry DNA. A triploidy pregnancy usually ...

Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorder can both involve a need for additional support. However, these are distinct diagnoses with different underlying causes and presentations. Down syndrome (DS) ...
