Breaking chromosomes to study cancer !!!
Chromosomes are present in every cell of our body and they contain the information the body needs to develop and function properly. This information is carried in genes that are arranged along the chromosomes. There are usually 46 chromosomes in every cell. These chromosomes come in pairs, one fr...Tags: Bioinformatics, Chromosome, Breaks, Translocation
