Scientists published a full genetic sequence of the genes that make some white campions male, and hope their work could unlock how the flower got that way. By Veronique Greenwood The vast majority ...
Feb. 6, 2025 — A study has identified key genetic pathways in corn that help its roots branch out to find water in soil; the varieties adapted to temperate regions like the U.S. corn belt showed ...
Cephalopods may have the oldest sex chromosomes of any animal, according to a new discovery in the octopus genome. That's a big deal given that scientists didn't know until now if these oddball ...
Genetics is the branch of science concerned with genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including ...
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 ...
In particular, balanced translocations and inversions can neither be identified by microarrays since they do not alter chromosome copy numbers, nor by short-read sequencing because of the ...
Feb. 6, 2025 — Despite new medication, cystic fibrosis often leads to permanent lung damage. Researchers have discovered that the disease causes changes in the immune system early in life ...
