Reproduction in nature is far more inventive than most of us imagine. One of its rarest—and cheekiest—strategies is simple: Take the sperm, skip the commitment. Meet Luna, the Amazon molly (Poecilia ...

Abstract: Chromosome recognition is a critical way to diagnose various hematological malignancies and genetic diseases, which is however a repetitive and time-consuming process in karyotyping. To ...

Rare Chromosome Awareness Day, celebrated in June, is an opportunity to increase public knowledge about rare chromosome and gene disorders. These conditions can lead to various physical, developmental ...

Newly leaked test results prove that Olympic boxer Imane Khelif does have male chromosomes — after the International Olympic Committee dismissed the claims as “not legitimate” and let her compete in ...

Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer who won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, found herself in a really complicated and controversial spot. Before her big win, she was disqualified from the 2023 Women’s ...

I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to report an issue I encountered while using the karyotype plotting tool. In my generated plot, the chromosome IDs are displayed as duplicate numbers (e.g., “10, ...

Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures in each of your cells that contain DNA, the code for all life. DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have 46 chromosomes ...

B chromosomes, studied in rye by the IPK Leibniz Institute, manipulate cell division via “chromosome drive.” Using advanced sequencing, researchers identified five candidate genes, including DCR28, a ...

Some chromosomes, such as B chromosomes, can increase their inheritance rate to their own advantage. These extra chromosomes are found in many plants, animals, and fungi and rely upon various ...

This study offers a valuable genomic dataset, analyses, and functional studies on gonadal sex determination and development. The work addresses long-standing questions regarding the role of the ...
