Scientists have recovered a sample of DNA from a Leonardo da Vinci drawing that could belong to the Renaissance polymath.

In 2002, evolutionary biologist Jenny Graves revealed a provocative calculation in regard to the human Y chromosome, later mentioning that it "is running out of time." Over the past 300 million years, ...

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...

Findings from a study on the role of exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the progression of multiple myeloma (MM), with a specific focus on sex-based differences, show that while male and female ...

Dr. Gil Mor discusses sex-specific placental responses and long-term immune alterations from prenatal virus exposure.

Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...

Over multiple years of stocking male brook trout with two Y chromosomes, combined with wild trout removal, a population of all males is created, eliminating the population from that waterbody.

Rare inherited genetic variants significantly increase familial lung cancer risk, offering new targets for early detection.

Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Hinxton mapped the ...

Researchers discover that insect sex systems influence the speed of mitochondrial evolution, impacting biodiversity tracking ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialise to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this ...
