A CRISPR mutant series in rice reveals that three redundant CDC20 proteins control the metaphase-to-anaphase transition in ...

Conventional investigations of the genetic contributors to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and progression have ignored the role of the X-chromosome, primarily due to technical analysis limitations. To ...

Increased risk for autism appears to be linked to the Y chromosome, a Geisinger Health System study has found, offering a new explanation for the greater prevalence of autism in males. The results are ...

Dormant genes on the X chromosome may reawaken in old age, potentially giving the aging female brain a boost that the male brain doesn't receive. This phenomenon may help to explain why, on many ...

In men, that trace may be a missing Y chromosome in cells that still look perfectly normal, new research shows. That was the ...

A new study published in Nature Genetics has uncovered surprising patterns in how cells utilize maternal and paternal X-chromosomes across different organs and tissues. The research, conducted by the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers performed a meta-analysis of 908,697 samples to investigate the genetic, sex-dependent basis of kidney traits. Study: ...
