Objectives X chromosome has been considered as a risk factor for SLE, which is a prototype of autoimmune diseases with a significant sex difference (female:male ratio is around 9:1). Our study aimed ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

You may be able to prevent or relieve hemorrhoids by incorporating more high fiber foods, like whole grains, beans, and cruciferous vegetables, into your diet. The pain, tenderness, bleeding, and ...

Chromosome number and meiotic behavior were evaluated in 36 Brazilian accessions of the grass Paspalum (which had never previously been analyzed) to determinate which accessions might be useful in ...

In this study, by isolating naturally occurring sex-linked RLAs and by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of essential yet haplosufficient genes, we generated a set of transgene-marked homomorphic sex ...

The Y chromosome can disappear over time in human males, which may introduce a number of health problems. While the exact trigger for such degeneration is unknown, environmental factors can play a ...

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and Linköping University in Sweden have discovered how cells prevent their chromosomes from mistakenly fusing together. Two proteins ...

Chromosome 5 abnormalities, deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (del(5q)) or monosomy 5 (−5), arise in about 10% of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), either as the sole cytogenetic ...

Now, a stage in this process has been achieved in yeast cells — an entire yeast chromosome has been converted to a synthetic sequence in a stepwise manner. A quote by the theoretical physicist ...
