A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and collaborating institutions. The team identified extensive recombination ...

Chromosome preparations were also dramatically ... and they can provide a resolution greater than 5 Mb. In addition, more sophisticated (and sometimes targeted) molecular cytogenetic analyses ...

Human biological sex is determined by the sex chromosomes X and Y. In most cases, females possess two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. However, there is some evidence that the Y ...

In particular, it explains that humans have one fewer chromosome pair in their cells than apes, due to a mutation found in chromosome number 2 that caused two chromosomes to fuse into one.
