It is well established that the somatic mutational load and associated signatures can vary considerably among different cancer genomes. Chromatin-conformation capture (Hi-C) studies have shown that ...

Newly generated, complete genomes for the sex chromosomes of six primate species may inform conservation of these endangered species and shed light on sex-related genetic diseases in both humans and ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

Sideroblastic anemias (SAs) are a group of rare disorders, which are mainly characterized by the presence of ring sideroblasts, iron deposits in erythroblasts’ mitochondria. This trait is conserved in ...
