Illustration of Robertsonian chromosomes within a cell—researchers recently discovered how these structural variants form and are transmitted through rounds of cell division. Two acrocentric chromosomes, in blue and orange (with pink centromeres), are close to each other, as Robertsonian chromosomes would be before fusion.

Exact Breakpoints in Robertsonian Chromosomes, Common Structural Variants, Revealed

An illustration of Arabidopsis thaliana "dried" and "recovered” states. The dried state depicts the plant with brownish-yellow leaves that are drooping, while the recovered state shows the plant as a vibrant green.

A child lies on their side on a sofa with a breathing apparatus covering their nose and mouth. Such equipment is commonly used for patients who suffer from cystic fibrosis, a once deadly disease that now has become manageable thanks to the triple combination drug Trikafta. Three researchers recently received this year’s Lasker award for their contribution to the development of this drug.
