Ring Chromosome 20 Syndrome, or (R)20, is an ultra-rare form of epilepsy with a devastating impact – yet despite huge leaps forward in gene sequencing in recent years, diagnoses are going down ...

Scientists discover that women's second X chromosome awakens later in life, expressing genes that protect the brain from aging.

We did not find any evidence for linkage between type 2 diabetes and any other region on chromosome 20. In conclusion, our larger and more comprehensive study showed very strong evidence for a ...

Surprisingly, in several different cell types of the hippocampus, the X chromosome that was supposed to be silent instead expressed about 20 genes. Many of them play a role in brain development, as ...

Human biological sex is determined by the sex chromosomes X and Y. In most cases, females possess two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. However, there is some evidence that the Y ...

The topics covered in the module include experimental approaches to address the function of specific genes, mechanisms of regulated gene expression, DNA repair and recombination pathways, chromosome ...
