New research at the UO reveals that they have been using one that has existed for 480 million years. The octopus has just ...

Scientists at the University of Oregon uncovered a sex chromosome in the California two-spot octopus, dating back 480 million years, making it the oldest known. This discovery adds a new dimension to ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

“If you're interfering with meiosis, the frequency with which these X chromosomes will not partition properly goes up significantly ... To zoom in on changes in chromosome organization during meiosis, ...

Researchers have identified a sex chromosome in the California two-spot octopus. This chromosome has likely been around for 480 million years, since before octopuses split apart from the nautilus on ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

Chromosomal inversions are an important class of genetic variation that link multiple alleles together into a single inherited block that can have important effects on fitness. To study the role of ...
