The location of chromosomes relative to the nuclear periphery correlates with chromosome size and overall transcriptional activity, with smaller and transcriptionally active chromosomes ...

Having a clearer picture of the Y chromosome makes it easier to track genes across generations of inheritance and learn how the location and content of genes has changed over time. The 30 million new ...

Understanding how the extra X chromosome contributes to longevity and cognitive health could potentially lead to therapeutic approaches that mimic these protective effects in both men and women.

Scientists have solved a decade-long question about the mechanism that preserves the centromere, the hub that ensures DNA ...

The term "karyotype" refers to the chromosomal pattern inside the nucleus of an animal cell (eukaryote), as well as to describes the set of chromosomes in a species or in an individual organism.

The Y chromosome can disappear over time in human males, which may introduce a number of health problems. While the exact trigger for such degeneration is unknown, environmental factors can play a ...

An archaeologist has shared recently gathered evidence that Khirbet Qana, an excavation site in Israel, is the true location of Jesus Christ's first miracle in Cana. Here are the details.

Approximately 80% of orange cats are males, including the four orange cats owned by the Short Wave team. Scientists have long suspected that orange color was a sex-linked trait — hiding ...

The location of the mutation on this particular gene also explains why there are so many more male orange cats than female ones. ARHGAP36 is known as X-linked, meaning that it is located on the X ...

Two decades after the human genome sequence was completed, researchers have finally finished a map of the piece that makes males distinct. The Y chromosome is what distinguishes biological males ...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of location of residence and overall survival in Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) ALL in an underserved urban setting. Methods: We analyzed 112 ...
