Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new tool to predict how cancer cells evolve. By focusing on chromosome ...

Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Sex determination is a cornerstone of biology, yet many mysteries remain about how sex chromosomes evolve, especially outside familiar ...

Research into sex chromosome evolution in reptiles and amphibians has unveiled a remarkable diversity in the mechanisms governing sex determination. Both genotypic sex determination (GSD) and ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole chromosomes, changes that help tumors grow, adapt and resist treatment. In ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

The evolution of sex chromosomes influences reproductive biology and genome evolution across species. In Drosophila pseudoobscura, the Y chromosome has a distinct origin compared to Drosophila ...
