A new study suggests that a gene linked to an additional X chromosome may be responsible for the milder symptoms of viral infections observed in…
Supernumerary sex chromosome aneuploidy refers to a condition in which individuals have an extra sex chromosome, resulting in an abnormal number of chromosomes in their…
The mammal ancestor had 19 autosomal chromosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. University of California, Davis scientists help reveal the genome of the common ancestor of…
The study found that chromosomes are fluid, almost liquid, outside of their division phases. Chromosome manipulation in live cells indicates that they are fluid. Researchers…
The study reveals that chromosome-level engineering can be achieved in mammals. Researchers engineer the first sustainable chromosomal alterations in mice. In nature, evolutionary chromosomal changes may…
The researchers believe that “selfish chromosomes” are the reason that human embryos die early on. Why is it so hard for humans to have a…
Analysis of the genome and proteome shows that eukaryotic evolution gave rise to the regulatory function of chromatin. Two meters of DNADNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid,…
How many X chromosomes you have can affect your health. Most mammals, including humans, have two sex chromosomes, X and Y. One sex chromosome is…
