we turn back to linkage mapping in model organisms. The important thing to realize about linkage is that it helps researchers identify the locations on chromosomes at which specific genes exist.

The nucleus of each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome contains about 1000 genes. There is enough DNA in all the cells in a human body to stretch to the sun and back again ...

The cell's nucleus contains chromosomes. These are long threads of DNA, which are made up of many genes. Humans have around 25,000 genes across their 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Researchers at Kyushu University have revealed how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of ...

A recent study characterizes the ZW sex chromosomes in Amborella trichopoda, revealing insights into sex determination and ...

Drive mechanisms in B chromosome systems have been studied in many species and contexts using various technologies, from classical genetics to cytogenetics. But despite being an ideal test case to ...

The disappearance of the Y chromosome could result in the evolution of a new sex-determining gene or other reproductive mechanisms, with significant implications for human reproduction.
