Centromeres and telomeres are essential components of chromosomes, playing distinct roles in their structure and function. In the context of Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), a molecular biology technique used for visualizing specific DNA sequences within chromosomes, labeling centromeres and telomeres can provide valuable information about chromosome organization, integrity, and genetic abnormalities.
Oncoviruses are a group of viruses that have the ability to cause cancer or contribute to the development of cancer. These viruses are capable of integrating their genetic material into the DNA of the host cell, leading to disruptions in normal cellular processes, uncontrolled cell division, and, ultimately, the formation of tumors. While not all […]

Ring chromosomes are a rare type of chromosomal abnormality characterized by a circular or ring-like structure formed from the fusion of the chromosome’s two ends. 1,8 This genetic anomaly can occur in any of the 22 autosomal chromosomes or the sex chromosomes (X or Y), leading to various clinical consequences depending on the specific chromosome […]
An oncogene is a mutated gene that has the potential to cause cancer as a result of the mutation. Oncogenes start as proto-oncogenes, a term for normal, unmutated genes that help regulate normal cell growth, division, proliferation, and programmed cell death. Because cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal, unchecked cell growth, mutations in any […]
