Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair.

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

The Noonan lab at Yale University is focused on understanding how HARs contribute to the evolution of uniquely human brain features.

The nucleus of every human cell contains chromosomes - 23 pairs, to be exact. These carry our genetic material, known as the genome, and are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins.
