Protein domain “DUF1220” copy numbers, predominantly found on human chromosome 1’s long (“q”) arm, appear to control brain size — with higher numbers appearing in people and sequentially fewer, “down” through the great apes and other mammals 0

One-step chromosomal DNA shattering, with error-filled repair, suspected in some cancers — an interesting paper with overstatement flaws 0

Humpty’s shattered chromosomes couldn’t put him back together right Medical researchers used to think that cancer tended to occur from gradually accumulated mutations to DNA. Not necessarily so says Philip J. Stevens et al. From the group’s abstract: Using next-generation sequencing, we characterize a phenomenon, which we term chromothripsis, whereby tens to hundreds of genomic [...]
