Gene editing techniques may one day allow for the removal of the extra chromosome that causes Down syndrome, early ...

ChromTR, a novel framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the ...

University of Oregon researchers discovered a 480-million-year-old sex chromosome in the California two-spot octopus, making ...

The research suggest octopus and other cephalopods, like squid and cuttlefish, all rely on the ancient chromosome to determine sex.

Scientists published a full genetic sequence of the genes that make some white campions male, and hope their work could ...

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more ...

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro ...

Female (XX) mammals inherit one X chromosome from each parent, but males (XY) receive an X from their mother and a Y sex chromosome from their father. X and Y chromosomes determine not only the ...

The X chromosome passed from mom to offspring may accelerate brain aging, a new animal study suggests. The research highlights a potential fundamental difference in how males' and females' brains age.

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce ...
