Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in chromosomes under the microscope. Conventional ...

To the untrained eye, the tiny spots in the tumor cell wouldn’t look like much. In fact, other scientists had noticed them in cancer before but had generally dismissed them as a mere curiosity. But to ...

A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight ...

The most common cause of spontaneous abortions is chromosome defects, but they can be difficult to detect. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a new method that can make us ...

Scientists have found a genetic change in normal-looking tissue that may offer an early clue about how some cancers develop.

During cell division in most organisms, DNA is packaged into multiple chromosomes — each of which has its own purpose — before being transmitted to the offspring cells. Of these chromosomes, one ...

In the first detailed chromosome map of the aardwolf, Texas A&M University researchers have discovered that, despite millions of years of separate evolution, the chromosomes of aardwolves, other ...

If you look at cells from a human or other mammal under a microscope, you’ll see big fat molecular complexes called chromosomes that contain our DNA. If the cells are from a bird or reptile, you’ll ...

System schematic for automatic detection of sister chromatid exchanges. Machine learning techniques have been used to develop a set of algorithms that can identify and count SCEs in microscopy images.
