Pregnancy loss may occur in as many as 25% of all pregnancies. Most of these losses occur in the first trimester, and about ...

The data, which is being presented at this year's AMP meeting, offers some insights into the often hidden causes of recurrent pregnancy loss.

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed ...

For decades, the Y chromosome — one of the two human sex chromosomes — has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...

Highly challenging to sequence and long overlooked, the human Y chromosome's contributions to health and disease remain largely unknown. A new paper that presents, for the first time, the complete ...

An international research team has generated the first truly complete sequence of a human Y chromosome, the final human chromosome to be fully sequenced. The new sequence, which fills in gaps across ...

Until recently, about half of the human Y chromosome was missing from the reference genome. Now, scientists have sequenced this chromosome from end to end. Credit: National Human Genome Research ...
