Since the 1 920s, when researchers began to study chromosomes, the analysis of human chromosomes has presented a particularly tough technological challenge, simply because there are so many of them.

Recent advances in neural network methodologies have revolutionised the analysis and classification of chromosome images, streamlining traditionally labour‐intensive processes in cytogenetics. Modern ...

The Cytogenetics Laboratory performs chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) on cells prepared from a wide variety of ...

New chromosome-level evidence suggests Medicago evolution followed a more complex, and surprising path, than previously ...

In female mammals, one of the two X chromosomes is usually inactive and forms the so-called Barr body. The image shows a cell nucleus with the Barr body marked in green. Unlike men, who carry one X ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, working with the University of Oxford, University of York, and Oxford Archaeology, have developed a new technique to measure the number of chromosomes in ...
