In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

This particular selfish X chromosome is structurally unusual. It behaves like a supergene, meaning it contains a large block of DNA that no longer mixes with its normal X chromosome counterpart.

When scientists engineered one group of mice to keep the extra X chromosome completely silent, they discovered that the normal chromosome would still express over 20 genes in aging females.

Sometimes, the translocation happens later, after conception. There will be two populations of cells, one with normal chromosomes and one with the translocation. This is known as mosaicism.

The race is uncertain, but that doesn’t mean the outcome will be close. In the final days before the 2020 presidential election, polls generally pointed to a clear victory for now-President Joe ...

But the “complete” genome sequenced by Miga and her colleagues was a female one, consisting of the 22 normal chromosomes and the X chromosome. Only now have Miga’s team completed the Y ...

Ph.D. “If you look at normal skin or normal lung tissue, for example, 99.9% of the cells will have the right number of chromosomes,” said Sheltzer, assistant professor of surgery at Yale ...

Human cells typically have 23 pairs of chromosomes; extra chromosomes are an anomaly known as aneuploidy. “If you look at normal skin or normal lung tissue, for example, 99.9% of the cells will have ...
