A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female ...
In human cells, DNA carries chemical or "epigenetic" marks that decide how genes will be used in different tissues. Yet in a ...
New research in an animal model of aging suggests a possible mechanism for why people with early menopause or other genetic conditions affecting the reproductive system are more likely to get ...
In the choreography of meiosis—the process responsible for sex cell division in all eukaryotic life—the pairing of homologous chromosomes (homologs) is essential. Errors in this process can lead to an ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...
In our cells, our DNA carries chemical or 'epigenetic' marks that decide how genes will be used in different tissues. Yet in the group of specialised ...
As viewed from a human perspective, nature has done some ingenious engineering to overcome some of the obstacles it has faced. Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from asexual to ...
