“This work is really important because the X chromosome has largely been excluded from genetic studies in the past,” said Amy ...

Some chromosomes, such as B chromosomes, can increase their inheritance rate to their own advantage. These extra chromosomes ...

Females have two X chromosomes; males have a single X and a male-specific Y. The Y carries a male-determining gene called SRY, which kickstarts the differentiation of a ridge of cells into a testis.

Some chromosomes, such as B chromosomes, can increase their inheritance rate to their own advantage. These extra chromosomes are found in many plants, animals, and fungi and rely upon various ...

A remarkable aspen forest that sprouted from a single seedling makes "the Roman Empire seem like a recent phenomenon." ...

Females have two X chromosomes; males have a single X and a male-specific Y. The Y carries a male-determining gene called SRY, which kickstarts the differentiation of a ridge of cells into a testis.

Next, the researchers used long DNA reads and assembled the rye B chromosome into a single ~430 Mb-long pseudomolecule and performed a detailed transcriptome analysis. “Using a newly-assembled B ...

There will be abundant opportunity to address the coming Donald Trump administration and all it holds. I have made no secret ...

Increased risk for autism appears to be linked to the Y chromosome, a Geisinger Health System study has found, offering a new explanation for the greater prevalence of autism in males. The results ...

The X and Y chromosomes evolved from an ancestral pair ... the group studied crossover events in living humans using a vast dataset of single-cell sequencing of sperm samples.
