New research at the UO reveals that they have been using one that has existed for 480 million years. The octopus has just ...

Discover how researchers identified an octopus' ancient sex chromosomes and why their genetic history is such a mystery.

Scientists published a full genetic sequence of the genes that make some white campions male, and hope their work could ...

In an article published in Molecular Cell, scientists have discovered how the three-dimensional organization of DNA in our ...

So, it's very easy to see,” she said. To zoom in on changes in chromosome organization during meiosis, the researchers used nuclear membrane and DNA damage protein stains to track nuclear behavior.

The research suggest octopus and other cephalopods, like squid and cuttlefish, all rely on the ancient chromosome to ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

In the body, DNA is wrapped up in chromosomes which have protective caps at the end to prevent damage, known as telomeres. Now scientists have found that people with shortened telomeres in their ...

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’t ...

Shorter telomeres are linked to higher risks of stroke, dementia, and depression, but lifestyle factors may help counteract ...

It remains a waiting game for the Crawford County Coroner’s Office for test results that may confirm the identity of a ...
