Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden made an unexpected discovery while investigating genetically unique women.

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

In a nutshell Female cells randomly use either the maternal or paternal X chromosome—this study shows that relying more ...

It took more than 50 years for Marthe Gautier to set the record straight about her discovery of the genetic cause of Down ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

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

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

In females with two X chromosomes – one inherited from each parent – one of the two X chromosomes is randomly silenced in every cell through a process called X-inactivation. When this process occurs, ...
