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 ...

The Y chromosome is perhaps the most puzzling part of the human genome. Associated with male development, it is chock-full of repetitive and inverted stretches of DNA, a hurdle that makes it ...

Researchers have identified inherited genetic variants that may predict the loss of one copy of a woman's two X chromosomes as she ages, a phenomenon known as mosaic loss of chromosome X, or mLOX.

In a recent study, scientists have developed a revolutionary chromosome identification system for alfalfa, one of the world's most economically vital forage crops. Leveraging an advanced ...

This milestone, combined with advances in third-generation sequencing technologies, is poised to transform our understanding of the genetic basis of digestive problems and pave the way for more ...

WASHINGTON: Scientists have taken an important step forward in understanding the human genome — our genetic blueprint — by fully deciphering the enigmatic Y chromosome present in males, an achievement ...

California: The entire sequencing of the human Y chromosome is a huge milestone in human genetics, opening up new paths for research into digestive ailments. This milestone, combined with advances in ...
