One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...
Chromosome 2 is the second largest of the 46 chromosomes found in human cells. Chromosome 2 spans 243 million base pairs and makes up around 8% of the total DNA present within our cells. The base ...
Spatial interactions between RNA, architectural factors and chromatin have essential roles during X-chromosome inactivation. CTCF is a versatile factor that regulates chromosome counting, allelic ...
Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...
In 2002, evolutionary biologist Jenny Graves shared a controversial calculation. The human Y chromosome, she wrote two years later in a commentary, "is running out of time." The male-determining sex ...
Chromosome 5 is the fifth largest chromosome of the 23 chromosomal pairs in humans and represents nearly 6% of the total DNA. Despite being one of the largest chromosomes, chromosome 5 has a low gene ...
The Y chromosome in primates — including humans — is evolving much more rapidly than the X chromosome, new research on six primate species suggests. For instance, humans and chimpanzees share upwards ...
In the early 1980s I met and began an unofficial training with Anna Freud—Sigmund Freud's youngest daughter, and his only child to follow him into psychoanalysis. I was a young social scientist who ...
A research paper highlights how spiny rats have developed a new male-determining gene. A recent study suggests a surprising future for human reproduction: the Y chromosome, which is crucial for ...
Researchers have discovered how the MSL complex responsible for dosage compensation can distinguish the X chromosome from autosomes in flies. A lab used a unique research approach to determine the ...
Doctors in Brazil discover and confirm that a woman has blood with male chromosomes, a rare case of human chimerism.
