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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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

Chinese scientists achieve genetic breakthrough by breeding baby mice using DNA from two male parents, opening new ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome ... segment of DNA varies in the genomes of different people. Several variants identified in the research involved the genes TBX1, CRKL ...

SMC proteins can reverse direction, reshaping DNA and solving key scientific debates. This discovery could impact research on ...
