With chromosome maps called idiograms, researchers can pinpoint the locations of genes and locate abnormal gene forms. Aa Aa Aa Most cytogeneticists are skilled at identifying individual ...

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

A study conducted by a research team at the Crick Institute identified important genes on the Y chromosome that regulate ...

A study finds that female mice using only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging, leading to memory loss.

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 ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Chromosomes are thin strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A gene is a short length of DNA found on a chromosome that codes for a particular characteristic or protein. Alleles are different ...

Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA located at specific points on a chromosome. The Y chromosome is an exception, only containing a few dozen genes.

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