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

The octopus just revealed another one of its secrets: what determines its sex. University of Oregon researchers have ...

The X chromosome carries at least 150 genes linked to intelligence. Since the mother has two X chromosomes to pass along while the father only has one, the mother’s contribution to the child’s ...

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a ...

Scientists have made an exciting discovery about octopuses: they have one of the oldest known sex chromosomes in the animal ...

The research suggest octopus and other cephalopods, like squid and cuttlefish, all rely on the ancient chromosome to ...

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

Entitled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," Trump's ...

Discover how researchers identified an octopus' ancient sex chromosomes and why their genetic history is such a mystery.

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they have now found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X chromosome, the animals’ memory and ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...
