New research suggests that brain ageing might be influenced by genetic factors passed down from your mother, raising ...

Maternal DNA, particularly the X chromosome, significantly influences a baby’s brain development and aging. Genetic ...

Aluminum stress is an important factor limiting plant growth in acidic soil, and has significant effects on the growth, development and physiological metabolism of Mentha canadensis. However, the ...

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes (typically XX for females, and XY for males). Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA ...

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 ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

Dorothy Shippen will soon retire, concluding a celebrated career marked by curiosity and a commitment to the next generation of scientists.

New research shows that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive ...

Biology has yet to tap into the full benefits of computer simulations, but a new AI foundation model developed by a team of scientists including CMU's Eric Xing hopes to change that.

Scientists reveal new insights into the hidden processes driving human genetic variation with the first complete human DNA ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...
