The new research advances epigenetic programming as a reproductive tool to breed motherless mice without compromising on ...

Summary: A large international study of over 21,000 identical twins has identified genetic variants that influence how individuals respond to life experiences, affecting traits such as anxiety, ...

A new paper published in Nature on June 4 shines light on how an enigmatic part of male aging—the loss of Y chromosomes—is connected with a higher risk of dying from cancer.. In an analysis of ...

Females have two X chromosomes, males have one X and one Y chromosome, and it is common for males to lose the Y chromosome in some of their cells as they age. Cedars-Sinai research published in 2023 ...

The loss of the Y chromosome in tumour cells is linked to poor outcomes for people with cancer 1, but this genetic alteration might also compromise immune cells that would otherwise fight the ...

The cancer cells of some men feature a striking mutation: their Y chromosome is missing altogether. Now, tantalizing research suggests that this mutation can spread ‘contagiously’ from tumour ...

When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss, according ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food for more than half of the world’s population, with aromatic varieties especially prized for their distinctive fragrance. This aroma is primarily attributed to 2 ...

Summary: Researchers have uncovered shared biological mechanisms across major psychiatric disorders by analyzing postmortem brain samples from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.Instead of looking at ...

Genetic genealogy is identifying the mothers of deceased newborns found abandoned, shedding light on crimes that went unsolved for years. Women now may face lengthy prison sentences for decades ...

Replication, segregation, gene expression, and inheritance are essential features of all eukaryotic chromosomes. To delineate the extent of conservation of chromosome functions between humans and ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During mitosis, centromeres serve as assembly sites for complex protein ...
