Research has shown that this tapeworm exhibits triploidy and parthenogenesis, which are forms of asexual reproduction, leading to a distinct genetic makeup compared to diploid populations found in ...

Cytogenetics is the study of chromosomal structure, location and function in cells. It includes the study of chromosome number and appearance (karyotyping), the physical location of genes on ...

Enterococcus faecalis, a human intestinal commensal, can polarise macrophages to produce a bystander effect that causes double-stranded DNA breaks, tetraploidy and chromosomal instability (CIN) in ...

Polyploidy refers to the presence of an extra set of chromosomes. Triploidy, for example, usually occurs when 2 spermatozoa fertilize an oocyte, resulting in a zygote that contains 3 sets of ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the world. Besides genetic causes, colonic inflammation is one of the major risk factors for CRC development, which is ...

There are a significant number of words, phrases and acronyms that appear when talking about race and ethnicity which often change depending on the context of the conversation. Language is ...

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the clinical use of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for common fetal aneuploidies as a prenatal screening tool for the detection of rare chromosomal ...

The sequencing of the human genome afforded the development of chromosomal microarrays that can be used to detect gains and losses of the genome. Microarrays are constructed from large pieces of ...
