The discovery may explain why cutting edge CAR T-cell therapy has managed to revolutionized treatment for blood cancer but ...

How Gene Mutations Occur. Genes and chromosomes can be damaged in a number of different ways. They may be damaged directly, such as with radiation, or indirectly.

A major breakthrough in cancer genetics has been achieved, paving the way for more effective prevention, early detection, and ...

Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures in each of your cells that contain DNA, the code for all life. DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have 46 ...

Dealing with these decisions isn’t easy while undergoing cancer treatment. But yes, it’s completely understandable to ...

A unique mutation on the X chromosome in domestic cats causes orange coloration by activating the Arhgap36 gene in pigment cells, a mechanism not seen in other mammals.

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide ...

Male cats, with only one X chromosome, will have orange coats if they inherit the orange gene. Females, with two X chromosomes, need two copies of the gene to be fully orange, making them less common.

Strawberries are notoriously soft and highly perishable, posing challenges to global production. Recent research has ...

Typically, mutations that lead to yellow or orange fur in animals (and red hair in humans) occur within genes that control for color. And those genes aren’t carried on the X chromosome.

An advanced genomic analysis of a multigenerational family is providing new knowledge about genetic mutations and their transmission, both the variants that are inherited and those that arise anew.

Researchers found the gene and genetic variation behind orange fur in most domestic cats, solving a decades-long mystery. ... Calico and tortoiseshell cats also carry an X-chromosome mutation.
