This study has allowed better localisation of the chromosome 11 atopy gene, based on maternally derived alleles in affected children. The most likely position of this locus has been defined as a 7 ...

With the publication of Ohno's watershed monograph 1, molecular genetic characterization of the mammalian sex chromosomes has radically altered our view of X-chromosome inactivation and the ...

However, there is some evidence that the Y chromosome is being phased out of the evolutionary pipeline, and could one day disappear altogether — potentially giving rise to a new sex gene in the ...

In a new study, scientists probed the ways in which the X chromosome may change with age and affect cognition. . | Credit: bodym via Getty Images Dormant genes on the X chromosome may reawaken in ...

Climate change and unpredictable weather threaten global food security by disrupting agricultural cycles. Now, Japanese ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell ...
