Genetics discoveries are rapidly identifying the people at greater risk for cancers and other diseases, but researchers at HealthPartners are concerned that they are happening too fast for doctors and ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital recently identified genetic variants in childhood cancer survivors of African ancestry that increase their risk of treatment-related heart problems.

Scientists have uncovered possible genetic risk factors for cancers and psychiatric disorders in a pioneering project to map ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

Bone mainly contains three types of cells: osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. The osteocytes are the most abundant cells comprising 95% of the total cell population in bone with an average half ...

Karyotype analysis plays a central role in cytogenetics, helping to reveal evolutionary processes and species relationships. Traditional chromosome identification has relied on genomic DNA, repetitive ...
