DENVER -- Genetic testing and algorithms revealed that over 1% of more than 96,000 blastocyst-stage embryos had ploidy abnormalities, or atypical numbers of chromosomes. In total, ploidy abnormalities ...

Purpose: DNA ploidy has consistently been found to be a correlate of prostate cancer patient outcome. However, a minority of studies have used pretreatment diagnostic material and have involved ...

Preoperative risk stratification is essential in tailoring endometrial cancer treatment, and biomarkers predicting lymph node metastasis and aggressive disease are aspired in clinical practice. DNA ...

Flow cytometry analyses were used to verify the ploidy stability of Quercus suber L. somatic embryogenesis process. Leaf explants of two adult cork oak trees (QsG0 and QsG5) of the North of Portugal ...

Although the standard treatment of oral leukoplakia ranges from watchful waiting to complete resection, the value of these approaches is unknown. Primary oral carcinoma developed in 47 of the 150 ...

Polyploid crops often display enhanced vigor, larger organs, and unique reproductive behaviors, making polyploidization a powerful breeding tool. A recent study identified how a single gene, ClOSD1, ...

A new artificial intelligence-based system can accurately assess the chromosomal status of in vitro-fertilized (IVF) embryos using only time-lapse video images of the embryos and maternal age, ...

Scientists have long known that some cells in a given tissue undergo a process of duplicating their entire genome without dividing – a process called endopolyploidy, where cellular ploidy is the copy ...
