Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

Learn how one-celled organisms, or single-celled organisms, helped build complex life.

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer‐promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

The mystery of how multicellular life evolved has long baffled scientists, who've spent years trying to understand how solitary single-celled organisms began living in unison and triggered the ...

Sickle cell disease is caused by a single genetic mutation that alters the shape of red blood cells. While the condition causes severe pain and health complications, carriers gain resistance to ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Key HighlightsResearchers developed a new method to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining or losing whole chromosomes.

A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
