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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Specifically, for genes on the same chromosome, the following statements ... with the traits for bifid (cleft wing), yellow body, and white eyes (Table 2). From bifid gene to yellow-body gene ...

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 ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more likely to have strokes or develop dementia and late-life depression ...
