Scientists published a full genetic sequence of the genes that make some white campions male, and hope their work could ...

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

Discover how researchers identified an octopus' ancient sex chromosomes and why their genetic history is such a mystery.

Scientists at the University of Oregon uncovered a sex chromosome in the California two-spot octopus, dating back 480 million ...

What stands out the most about this ancient cephalopod sex chromosome is how little the chromosome has changed over time.

So, it's very easy to see,” she said. To zoom in on changes in chromosome organization during meiosis, the researchers used nuclear membrane and DNA damage protein stains to track nuclear behavior.

The research suggest octopus and other cephalopods, like squid and cuttlefish, all rely on the ancient chromosome to ...

Maternal DNA, particularly the X chromosome, significantly influences a baby’s brain development and aging. Genetic variations and maternal vitamin D levels during pregnancy impact cognition, memory, ...

A study conducted by a research team at the Crick Institute identified important genes on the Y chromosome that regulate ...

In the body, DNA is wrapped up in chromosomes which have protective caps at the end to prevent damage, known as telomeres. Now scientists have found that people with shortened telomeres in their ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don’t ...
