For the first time, researchers have fused two mouse chromosomes together in vitro, resulting in living mice with new karyotypes. The new technique, detailed in a study published today (August 25) in ...

The team knocked out the chromosome in mice’s bone marrow cells by deleting its centromere with CRISPR, mirroring the degeneration of the Y chromosome in male humans. The modification successfully ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don ...

Scientists discover that women's second X chromosome awakens later in life, expressing genes that protect the brain from ...

Females, on average, live nearly five years longer than males. They also tend to experience age-related cognitive decline at ...

As shown in Figure 4, regions on the arms of mouse chromosomes 10 (MMU10), 16 (MMU16), and 17 (MMU17) are syntenic with regions on the long q arm of human chromosome 21. Using some genetic tricks ...

Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the ...

Subsequently, scientists learned more and more about the genome of the mouse: from the order of genes on individual chromosomes to the sequencing of the mouse genome in 2002. We now know that the ...

In a surprise, work in mice has found that the dormant X chromosome in females can reawaken late in life and turn on genes that keep the brain healthy. UCSF researchers may have discovered how the ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is ...
