Things are changeable in the aging brain, and the X chromosome clearly can teach us what’s possible.” Dena Dubal, MD, PhD The scientists created hybrid mice from two different strains of laboratory ...

In a surprise, work in mice has found that the dormant X chromosome in females can reawaken late in life and turn on genes that keep the brain healthy. UCSF researchers may have discovered how the ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell ...

For one, inserting at the end of the chromosome helps the transposon avoid genes for the cell's core functioning, which reside in the middle of the chromosomes; transposons that can target the ...

Now researchers might have uncovered a source for this resilience: the second X chromosome in female cells that was previously considered ‘silent’. Why the sexes don’t feel pain the same way ...

In contrast to classical Mendelian inheritance, UPD involves inheritance of two copies of a region of a chromosome from only one parent and can be heterodisomic (inheritance of a pair of homologous ...

A total of 68 blood samples were collected from the seven populations from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guizhou province with written informed consent and genotyped using Affymetrix WeGene ...

clang-uml is an automatic C++ to UML class, sequence, package and include diagram generator, driven by YAML configuration files. The main idea behind the project is to easily maintain up-to-date ...

A typical trajectory and arch diagram for the subunits of a semi-diffusive LEF are shown in Figure 1d ... However, as shown in Appendix 3, this method can be used to study bacterial chromosome ...
