A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

In evolutionary terms, fitness is defined as an organism's ability to survive and reproduce its genes into the next generation.

This competition, or arms race, is typically hard to observe–except when the genes in question live on the X and Y chromosomes ... of human genetics and senior author on the paper. “Spermatogenesis ...

While this internal rivalry is usually hard to see, it becomes clearer when it involves genes on the X and Y chromosomes ... Additionally, while spermatogenesis can occur without Slxl1/Slx ...

Chromosomes are the carrier of our genomic information and hold vital clues of the evaluation and therapeutic outcome of breast cancer. “In an innovative approach, our study explores how VPA ...

The planned changes include reinstating a version of chromosome testing that was discontinued in the 1990s, requiring athletes who compete in the female category to submit to a cheek swab or dry blood ...

each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell achieves this feat remains largely unknown. Now, for the first time, EMBL scientists have directly ...
