A study conducted by a research team at the Crick Institute identified important genes on the Y chromosome that regulate ...

New research adds to our understanding of the function of the human genome. An international team of researchers has made ...

The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove of genes that influence cognition, and these could be therapeutic targets, ...

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes (typically XX for females, and XY for males). Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA ...

Researchers at the Crick 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 ...

Scientists have discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one ...

By modifying 20 regions of the genome, scientists successfully bred mice with two male parents and raised them to maturity.

New research shows that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

A UCSF study reveals that maternal X chromosome expression may accelerate brain aging and cognitive decline. Female mice with ...

A team of investigators from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Google, and Columbia ...
