Kansas City, MO—September 24, 2025—Open a high school biology textbook, and you’ll see human chromosomes lined up two by two, like socks in a drawer. But in about one out of every 800 people, two ...
Robertsonian chromosomes (ROB) are a type of structurally variant chromosome that is created when two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. Found commonly in nature, these chromosomes are ...
Repetitive elements make up over 50% of the human genome. Recent advances in long-read sequencing experimental approaches and data analysis algorithms have made it possible to characterize these ...
Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences that originate from ancient viruses and currently make up nearly half of the human genome. While TEs were once labeled as “junk” DNA with no ...
An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...
