This competition, or arms race, is typically hard to observe–except when the genes in question live on the X and Y chromosomes, which determine the sex of offspring in mammals. In mice, this arms race ...

The first steps have been taken towards forming a reminiscence group devoted to Caithness football. Staff at Nucleus got the ball rolling by hosting an informal get-together this week, with football ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. DJ Siddiqi is a reporter who covers the NFL, NBA, and pro wrestling.

The planned changes include reinstating a version of chromosome testing that was discontinued in the 1990s, requiring athletes who compete in the female category to submit to a cheek swab or dry blood ...

The ‘bunch of dots’ of DNA they saw in the microscope, separated from the chromosomes, but still within the cell nucleus, were often in pairs (now we know because they were replicating). Interest ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a groundbreaking method called LoopTrace. By observing overlapping DNA loops ...

To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series of actions involved in sex leading up to ejaculation. Their results ...

One hypothesis is that the DNA loops could determine which genes are switched on in the cell. Inside a nucleus, chromosomes jumble together like a game of Twister. This can bring regulatory elements, ...

We are building upon powerful methods for in situ quantification of DNA and RNA molecules, and integrating them with newly developed single-cell genomic assays to measure chromosome positioning ...
