Uncovering the Mysteries of Inactive Chromosomes
A team of researchers from the University of Washington have made a groundbreaking discovery regarding the inactive X chromosome. By studying the cells of female mammals, they have discovered that the inactive X chromosome is actually capable of producing proteins, contrary to its previously believed function. This finding could have major implications for our understanding of how cells and chromosomes work, as well as the potential for future research on genetic diseases.
