Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the biological sex, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that develop in a person.

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development ... Interestingly, some other genes had no impact when removed individually, but did lead to the production ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco found that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive decline ... manuscript), and serves as an Associate Editor at ...

All other authors declare no competing interests. Female mammalian cells have two X chromosomes, one of maternal origin and one of paternal origin. During development, one X chromosome randomly ...

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, ...

In mammals, most chromosome pairs are the same between males and females, but one pair, the sex chromosomes, is different. Typically, females have two X chromosomes (XX), whereas males have one X ...
