|
Ultimately, knowing how DNA is positioned along chromosomes "allows you to start thinking about functions and how genes are regulated," Dr. Voss said.
|
|
Twenty years ago, he said, scientists didn't think that sex chromosomes played any role at all in causing sex differences in these diseases.
|
|
In her pioneering work at Bryn Mawr College, Stevens — whose birthday is today, July 2 — discovered the sex chromosomes that make the difference.
|
|
After extracting DNA from the skeleton, Price and his colleagues found that the individual carried a pair of X chromosomes and no Y chromosome.

|
They then generated sophisticated computer simulations to match that data, allowing them to calculate the three-dimensional path the chromosomes traced as they condensed.
|
|
In Odiele's case, she was born with an intersex trait called Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS), meaning she had XY chromosomes typically found in men.
|
|
If GK-PID doesn't ensure that the chromosomes move horizontally, the cells end up in a jumble, like bricks randomly set at different angles.
|
|
Bailey's team wanted to know what a year in space would do to the structures at the ends of Scott Kelly's chromosomes, called telomeres.
|
|
This week has seen a big step towards that achievement, with the publication in Science of recipes for five artificial chromosomes for yeast cells.
|
|
Such DNA is not always easy to identify, for many parts of chromosomes that were once believed useless are now known to have functions.
|
|
Telomeres are located at the tips of each DNA strand in the body's chromosomes, and they're best described as a kind of age biomarker.
|
|
Instead of scientists patching a gene here and a gene there, they would use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA contained in human chromosomes.
|
|
However, researchers found that while he was in orbit, Scott's telomeres—the caps on the ends of chromosomes—grew longer than his twin brother's.
|
|
Blackburn, Carol W. Greider (see #4), and Jack W. Szostak discovered how the enzyme telomerase and telomeres — a component of human cells — protect chromosomes.
|
|
If they had a child tomorrow with two x-chromosomes, that child would have a 50% chance of becoming a carrier like my mother.
|
|
Mitochondria, the structures that float in the cytoplasm providing power to human cells, have their own DNA, separate from the DNA coiled inside chromosomes.
|
|
The eggs were all unsuitable for in vitro fertilization because they contained an extra set of chromosomes, and had been donated for research purposes.
|
|
Many researchers who study aging are focused on telomeres, found at the ends of our chromosomes, which tend to shrink as we grow older.
|
|
Scientists are now contemplating the fabrication of a human genome, meaning they would use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA contained in human chromosomes.
|
|
He confirmed that Life Length, though the most expensive, is also the most sensitive commercial test on the market because it measures individual chromosomes.
|
|
As it turned out, the siren's genome is huge and packed into four sets of chromosomes, so the analysis took much longer than expected.
|
|
So, too, the look and to some extent the "age" of their chromosomes may be different, according to another study I covered this year.
|
|
"Elizabeth Blackburn," Ms. de Hollander said, explaining that she is a geneticist who won the prize in 2009 for her groundbreaking work involving chromosomes.
|
|
"Even if two got in, an embryo with three rather than the normal two sets of chromosomes won't survive as a fetus," he said.
|
|
A human cell carries in its nucleus two meters of spiraling DNA, split up among the 46 slender, double-helical molecules that are its chromosomes.
|
|
The research found that Scott's gut bacteria, chromosomes, and gene expressions all changed while in space when compared to the biology of his brother Mark.
|
|
You might know that your fetus has XY chromosomes and a penis, but that doesn't mean the baby is going to identify as a boy.
|
|
The genetic glitch is on the X chromosome, so girls with two X chromosomes tend to have at least one functioning copy of the gene.
|
|
The octopus genome is five to six times larger than other invertebrate genomes that have been sequenced, and has about double the number of chromosomes.
|
|
First, share a few important definitions with your students: • Sex refers to a person's sexual anatomy, like chromosomes, hormones, and internal and external sex organs.
|
|
There's just no reason you should have to pay an extra $30 to get a trim just because you were born with two X chromosomes.
|
|
Russian hacking ("outrageous"), fake news ("huge problem"), Clinton's double X chromosomes ("a headwind"), and polling data ("for suburban women in particular") also made Mook's list.
|
|
The tests were meant to identify competitors whose chromosomes, hormones, genitalia, reproductive organs or secondary sex characteristics don't develop or align in the typical way.
|
|
Some intersex women, for instance, have XX chromosomes and ovaries, but because of a genetic quirk are born with ambiguous genitalia, neither male nor female.
|
|
Genetic tests can be done either for chromosomes or for fatal and serious single gene disorders including spinal muscular atrophy, cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy.
|
|
In 2009, Elizabeth Blackburn received the Nobel Prize for her work on telomeres, protein caps on chromosomes that may be a key to understanding aging.
|
|
None of those markers was on the X or Y sex chromosomes and their total combined effect accounted for less than 1% of the variance.
|
|
Earlier this year Myriad announced the expansion of cfDNA test they do from the standard 5 chromosomes that were previously tested to all 23 pairs.
|
|
He added that patients also sometimes ask him what it means for a man to have a woman's chromosomes in their bloodstream or vice versa.
|
|
Mason's team also saw changes in the length of Kelly's telomeres, caps at the end of chromosomes that are considered a marker of biological aging.
|
|
In a room at GenLab, Connie and I were presented with an exhaustive menu of just how our chromosomes could be made to match up.
|
|
When I tell my son that the granular basil seed holds millions of chromosomes, the look on his face can only be described as revelatory.
