Medically reviewed by Marla Anderson, MD Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that forms in plasma cells, white blood ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

Scientists published a full genetic sequence of the genes that make some white campions male, and hope their work could ...

Thousands of matings had convinced the Morgan lab that white eyes were clearly a characteristic associated with only the Y chromosome. One day, however, the researchers in Morgan's lab encountered ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more ...

Human biological sex is determined by the sex chromosomes X and Y. In most cases, females possess two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. However, there is some evidence that the Y ...

Learn about Thomas Hunt Morgan, the first person to definitively link trait inheritance to a specific chromosome and his white-eyed flies. Table 1 provides a brief summary of Morgan's observed ...

In particular, it explains that humans have one fewer chromosome pair in their cells than apes, due to a mutation found in chromosome number 2 that caused two chromosomes to fuse into one.

Their team zeroed in on mosaic loss of Y chromosome (mLOY), a condition where some of a male’s somatic cells, particularly white blood cells, lose the Y chromosome. This condition, which is heavily ...

"Given the fact that the X chromosome is enriched for brain-related genes, it became very important for us to know what roles it might be playing in brain aging," said Samira Abdulai-Saiku, Ph.D ...
