Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

The first theoretical model of condensin, a molecular machine involved in packing and unpacking chromosomes, accurately reproduces all known experiments with just two parameters. To scrunch a ...

In this paper, we present a two-locus model of selection for an autotetraploid population. We also investigate a measure of disequilibrium that occurs between homologous chromosomes in the diploid ...

Human egg cells are often prone to chromosomal errors. As women age, the error rate increases sharply — and can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and ...

Cancer researchers have long treated genetic chaos and epigenetic rewiring as separate engines of disease, two parallel ...
