A new BMC Biology study shows that chromosomal inversions in Anopheles mosquitoes reshape 3D genome folding and rewire ...
A study of Trinidadian guppies finds that ancient chromosomal inversions, some millions of years old, are maintained by ...
For decades, cancer research has focused heavily on genetic mutations, but another theory argues that abnormal chromosome numbers may play a much bigger role than previously recognized. The idea dates ...
Sex differences have traditionally been attributed to gonadal hormones, but accumulating evidence shows that sex chromosomes exert distinct, cell-autonomous effects on health, aging, and disease. XX ...
Recombining regions of sex chromosomes, pseudoautosomal regions (PARs), are essential for proper segregation of the sex chromosome pair during meiosis. Yet, the evolutionary dynamics of PARs remain ...
Every time a cell divides, its chromosomes must be distributed correctly between the two daughter cells. Central to this process is the centromere, a specialized region of the chromosome. The ...
