Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X ...

We previously reported suggestive linkage between type 2 diabetes and markers in a region on chromosome 20q using data from a collection of 29 Caucasian families in which type 2 diabetes with ...

The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove of genes that influence cognition, and these could be therapeutic targets, ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact ...

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is linked to faster brain aging.

Experiments show that CENP-B works as a dimer, so it may be able to cross-link two nearby satellite sequences, thereby contributing to the higher-order structure of the chromosome. Figure 3 shows ...

An international research team has discovered various mechanisms in asexual mites that generate genetic diversity and thus ...

Researchers say study represents a resource that could also help to dissect Y-gene functions in other tissues.

Males typically have one copy of the Y chromosome and one copy of the X chromosome, whereas females typically have two X chromosomes. Scientists know that the Y chromosome is essential for male ...
