Females (XX) carry twice as many X-linked genes on their sex chromosomes as males (XY). How do cells control gene expression to manage this potentially lethal dosage problem? A prime example of X ...

Yet Thomas Hunt Morgan did exactly this and in the process made gene mapping ... most of the night drawing the first chromosomal linkage map for the genes located on the X chromosome of fruit ...

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

This ensures that females produce a similar number of X chromosome gene products to XY males. However, mLOX is a detrimental process. Although scientists know that mLOX largely occurs later in life, ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent ... but were very active on the paternal X. Using the gene-editing tool CRISPR, they investigated what would happen ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

Study reveals the impact of X chromosome on brain aging in women. Learn how maternal and paternal X chromosome can influence cognitive abilities.
