Scientists have found a genetic mutation that results in cancer cells being able to tolerate having an abnormal number of chromosomes – a condition which normally kills cells – allowing them to adapt ...

Hidden within fish DNA are powerful genetic twists that may explain one of nature’s biggest mysteries: how new species form so quickly. In Lake Malawi, hundreds of cichlid fish species evolved at ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...
