Quantification and characterization of these multiple HML-2 insertions in the human chromosome has been challenging due to their size, sequence homology with each other, and their repetitive nature.

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is linked to faster brain aging. The X chromosome passed from mom to ...

Summary: New research shows that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive decline compared to those expressing both maternal and paternal X ...

In cold weather, it's common to find your windows covered in condensation each morning, a result of warm indoor air meeting the cold surface of the windowpane. However, the additional moisture can ...

WAKING up to frosty mornings often comes with an unwelcome guest - window condensation. It's a common nuisance, but if ignored, those harmless-looking water droplets can lead to bigger headaches ...

Condensation in the home can be a real nuisance, often leading to larger issues such as mould and mildew that no one wants. Liverpool Echo writer Emily Sleight frequently battled with condensation ...
