A single gene in the shorebird species known as ruffs controls the levels of testosterone in males, and this in turn affects ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

Genetic alterations may help mosquitoes adjust to climate change, shifting the distribution of mosquito-borne disease in a ...

we used long-read technologies to identify four single and two tandem inversions that span half of each respective chromosome, and which together encompass over 10% of the genome. Each inversion is ...

The results are published in the journal New Phytologist. Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression.

Chromosomal rearrangements, such as chromosome segment inversions, may affect the epigenetic landscape as well as gene expression. Indeed, different kinds of chromosome segment inversions have ...

Mutations in the oncogenes may cause a cell to grow and divide too quickly. When this occurs, it may multiply at an out-of-control rate and develop into cancer. Chromosomes are threadlike ...
