Learn how small mutations in non-coding DNA can alter sex development in rodents.

Scientists discovered that making a very small change to female mice's DNA caused them to develop male reproductive organs.

Bar-Ilan University researchers use CRISPR tool to alter Enh13 switch controlling Sox9 gene, causing XX mice to develop as males; study may help explain other genetic mutations The post With a switch ...

Changing just a single base in a specific DNA region of a female mouse embryo led to the development of male reproductive organs. A research team led by Nitzan Gonen at Bar-Ilan University in Israel h ...

In boys with undescended testis, the risk of developing infertility is traditionally predicted based on a decrease in germ cell count observed using testicular biopsy samples. However, the process of ...

Researchers have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of lncRNAs in the testes than had ...

Impact of HSF5 Deficiency on Growth and Sperm Formation of Testis (IMAGE) Kumamoto University Caption Deletion of hsf5 in mice results in the impaired development of testis (left), and the absence of ...

Many people with testicular cancer don’t have a family history of it. Still, your risk may be much higher if you have a parent or sibling with the disease. But environment and hormones also play a ...
