The Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences at CWRU provides an interface between human and medical genetics with basic genetics and provides an exciting atmosphere in which to learn and develop ...

The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the biological sex, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that develop in a person.

Extraterrestrial and artificial life have long captivated the human mind. Knowing only the building blocks of our own ...

Researchers' initial understanding of meiosis was based upon careful observations of chromosome behavior using light microscopes. Then, in the 1950s, electron microscopy provided scientists with a ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking ...
