Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic diseases. Although one of the two X chromosomes is ...
"Inter-chromosome connections may prove to be an integral and pervasive governing feature of chromosome organization in many types of human cells," says Stowers Investigator Jennifer Gerton, Ph.D., ...

Researchers find evidence that it may be genes on the X chromosome that cause the height difference between men and women
Finally, differences in height are being explained.
A new study has found that the X chromosome, of which one copy is typically inactivated in XX female cells, can also be inactivated in some male cancers. The study is published in Cell Systems. The X ...
A quick genetics lesson is probably in order here. Every cell in a person’s body contains their genetic code, or DNA, which typically consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes — with one chromosome in each ...
There are only so many ways to cram DNA into a cell’s nucleus, a study suggests. A cell’s complete genetic blueprint, or genome, is densely packed into chromosomes, condensing meters of DNA into a ...

This figure demonstrates the organization process of a chromosome. Chromosome Droplets are formed during this process and act as a basic packaging unit of the chromosome. Their structures are ...
