Waterhemp has recently evolved separate M & F sexes from a monoecious ancestor. This study reveals surprising #chromosomal complexity associated with this transition, challenging assumptions of how separate #sexes evolve @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/46sTg6u

#IntersexAwarenessDay: #Activist #discovered aged 40 that she was #intersex

It was only at the age of 40, and after reading her #medicalrecords, that #KimberlyZieselman first encountered the phrase “#testicularfeminization”, a #condition usually referred to as #androgeninsensitivitysyndrome or #ais – which can impair or prevent the #development of #male #characteristics despite #chromosomal #sex.

Had appointment with foetal specialist yesterday and they casually told us our little one has a 1/7 likelihood of #Downsyndrome or some other #chromosomal condition. We were offered an #Amniocentesis which will determine whether or not this is the case. C is really struggling and I’m going through a lot of emotions. Do we really want to know the result? How would it impact us and little one? We’re older parents - is it fair on the unborn child to have to fend for themselves in 40 years time?

Yeast screen uncovers genes involved in chromosomal mutation

When creating a computer program, errors in the code can introduce bugs to the software. Similarly, errors in our body's genetic code, DNA, which is stored in structures known as chromosomes, can bring about mutations in the body. These mutations are the cause of many deadly diseases—including cancer. Now, researchers in Japan have shed new light on a particular type of genetic mutation: gross chromosomal rearrangement (GCR).
