Female (XX) mammals inherit one X chromosome from each parent, but males (XY) receive an X from their mother and a Y sex chromosome from their father. X and Y chromosomes determine not only the ...

New research shows that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive ...

Most of us remember two things from high school biology: that mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and that we inherit stable sets of chromosomes from our two parents. Both truisms are only ...

They somehow measure both sides from the crossover—the point at which chromosomes from each parent exchange genetic material—to each chromosomal end, picking the shorter side as the place to ...

A study finds that female mice using only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging, leading to memory loss.

Researchers aim to continue studying the role of the X chromosome in brain aging, and whether it can explain people’s risk of ...
