The X chromosome carries at least 150 genes linked to intelligence. Since the mother has two X chromosomes to pass along while the father only has one, the mother’s contribution to the child’s ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

ualberta.ca Over the past three decades, extensive genetic, physical, transcript, and sequence maps have assisted in the mapping of over 30 genetic diseases and in the identification of over 550 genes ...

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 ...

Chromosome abnormality is the condition in a cell or organism where the number of chromosomes or the structure of any chromosome differs from the normal karyotype. When the variant genotype is not ...

Wolf-Hirschhorn is a rare genetic disorder that your baby gets when part of chromosome 4 is deleted. It happens when cells divide abnormally during reproduction. When any part of a chromosome is ...

Most people are born with 46 chromosomes that are divided into 23 pairs. Chromosome pairs carry genes from each parent, which determine a person’s physical characteristics, like their height or ...

This valuable study contributes to the understanding of phase separation in Dishevelled (DVL) proteins, by investigating the endogenous complexes of DVL2 using ultracentrifugation and contrasting them ...
