The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

Researchers mapped Y chromosome loss across thousands of individual cells from human cancers, with disturbing results.

They also found that after the extra chromosome was removed, genes tied to nervous system development were more active and ...

Back in 1900 the life expectancy of people with Down Syndrome was 9 years. In 1984, it was 28 years, today it's leveled off between 50 and 60 ...

Scientists are expressing concerns about male reproductive health due to the Y chromosome's genetic material loss, potentially disappearing in 11 million years. A study revealed a sharp decline in ...

Scientists have discovered that the Y chromosome, crucial for male development, is gradually disappearing. This loss, ...

Japanese researchers have successfully eliminated the extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome using CRISPR gene ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure ...

This localization suggests a direct connection between X chromosome gene expression and cognitive function in aging females. These findings indicate that aging itself may trigger the awakening of ...

Genes are segments of DNA on chromosomes that code for specific proteins. These proteins carry out various functions throughout your body and determine various traits, such as your eye color or ...

These findings help us better understand the structure and function of our chromosomes. They also provide insight into how disruption of twisted DNA looping can affect health - for instance ...

“Fossil chromosomes have never been found before ... “This structural information provides insights into functions of the woolly mammoth genome that were invisible using previous genomic ...
