Mendel’s monastery garden experiments went largely unnoticed during his life, but their implications would ripple through ...

Chromosomes are tiny, filamentous structures in the cell nuclei of living beings. They contain genes with genetic information, for example, related to the development or control of diseases. Every ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

In about one out of every 800 people, two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. These are known as Robertsonian chromosomes. It's a mystery that has long stumped scientists. Now, ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is linked to faster brain aging. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

A gene on the X chromosome revs up inflammation in the female brain, which may explain why rates of multiple sclerosis are higher in women than in men, scientists suggest. When you purchase through ...

The Atlas blue butterfly, also known as Polyommatus atlantica, has been genetically confirmed as having the highest number of chromosomes out of all multicellular animals in the world. This insect ...
