The study, published in Volume 153, Issue 9 of the journal Development on May 14, 2026, by The Company of Biologists, is the ...

A study, published in the journal Development, is the first to precisely map endogenous UTY occupancy across the human genome ...

In each cell of your body, DNA is stored in structures called chromosomes. When cells divide, these chromosomes are copied, ...

It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells. Researchers at RPTU have now investigated the detailed effects of such imbalances ...

The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear assembly ...

Two new studies of the evolutionary history of the Y chromosome show that, contrary to popular (if not scientific) belief, the male is not at risk of dying out. The Y chromosome which, among other ...

Published in Nature, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center report a ...

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

AMES, Iowa – A new study led by an Iowa State University scientist sheds light on how organisms have evolved to address imbalances in sex chromosomes. The study looks at a species of softshell turtle, ...
