A 2017 study published in the journal PLOS Genetics said the chromosome's evolution of palindromes — DNA sequences that read the same forward as backward — and repetitive copies of genes could ...

Researchers at McMaster University have uncovered unexpected diversity in the genetic processes that determine the sex of the ...

Research conducted at the Department of Biology, University of Padova, has identified critical genomic milestones in the ...

How can we explain the morphological diversity of living organisms? Although genetics is the answer that typically springs to mind, it is not the only explanation. By combining observations of ...

The evolution of sex chromosomes is a fascinating process that has occurred independently across various species, including flowering plants. These chromosomes play a critical role in determining ...
