The Sex of Your Cells Matters When It Comes to Heart Disease
Most mammals, including humans, have two sex chromosomes, X and Y. One sex chromosome is usually inherited from each parent, and they pair up as…

A new study finds the clusters form small, stable droplets and may give the genome a gel-like structure. A cell stores all of its genetic…
Combining lab data with supercomputing power reveals role of RNA and chromosome structure in regulating gene expression. Using supercomputer-driven dynamic modeling based on experimental data,…
A study from a team of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators points toward a potential strategy for treating X-linked disorders – those caused by mutations…
Researchers from Yale University have identified how the molecule DNA2 helps begin the complex process of repairing breaks in DNA that can cause chromosome rearrangements…
In a newly published study, researchers show how Down syndrome and low SNX27 are connected, discovering that the extra chromosome inherited in Down syndrome impairs…
Inducing cells to express telomerase, the enzyme which is supposed to slow down the metabolic clock, has enabled researchers boost the lifespan of mouse by…
The Tomato Genomics Consortium fully sequenced the genome of the tomato, Solanum Lycopersicum. They report in the Journal Nature that tomatoes possess some 35,000 genes…
Geneticists at Harvard Medical School have discovered how a deletion in one gene from one parent, called a “hemizygous” deletion, can contribute to cancer, suggesting…
A new study from neurobiologists at Yale University examines the evolutionary changes surrounding the NOS1 gene and suggests that the same evolutionary mechanisms that may…
New research from scientists at Harvard University examines the mitotic spindle, finding that the spindle is more complex than previously thought. Using a femtosecond laser…
A new discovery of three unique non-repetitive microDNA sequences was made by a team of researchers at the University of North Carolina. Their research shows…
