  2. Barr body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barr_body

    Barr bodies can be seen in neutrophils at the rim of the nucleus. In humans with more than one X chromosome, the number of Barr bodies visible at interphase is always one fewer than the total number of X chromosomes. For example, people with Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) have a single Barr body, and people with a 47, XXX karyotype have two ...

  3. Sex-chromosome dosage compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-chromosome_dosage...

    Replicating the actual gene is impossible; thus organisms instead equalize the expression from each gene. For example, in humans, female (XX) cells randomly silence the transcription of one X chromosome, and transcribe all information from the other, expressed X chromosome. Thus, human females have the same number of expressed X-linked genes ...

    Xist will be continuously created to maintain a condensed and silenced Barr body. [9] [10] [11] In human cells with more than one X chromosome, two long non-coding RNAs are produced: Tsix is produced by one X chromosome, and Xist is produced by all of the other X chromosomes. Tsix is a long non-coding RNA that prevents repression of an X ...

  5. X-inactivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-inactivation

    The Xist gene is expressed at high levels on the Xi and is not expressed on the Xa. [39] Many other genes escape inactivation; some are expressed equally from the Xa and Xi, and others, while expressed from both chromosomes, are still predominantly expressed from the Xa. [40] [41] [42] Up to one quarter of genes on the human Xi are capable of ...

  6. Nuclear sexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sexing

    Nuclear sexing can be done by identifying Barr body, a drumstick like appendage located in the rim of the nucleus in somatic cells. Barr body is the inactive X chromosome which lies condensed in the nucleus of somatic cells. A typical human (or other XY-based organism) female has only one Barr body per somatic cell, while a typical human male ...

    •List of human protein-coding genes page 4 covers genes SLC17A8–ZZZ3 NB: Each list page contains 5000 human protein-coding genes, sorted alphanumerically by the HGNC-approved gene symbol. Follow the Python code link for information about updates to the list of genes on these pages.

  8. Sex verification in sports - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports

    The Barr body is indicated by the arrow. They are only present in cells with XX chromosomes. This was the evidence searched for in Barr body tests of samples from female athlete's inner cheeks. From 1958 to 1992, all female athletes underwent mandatory sex verification tests before taking part in any IAAF or IOC event.

  9. Human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

    The human genome is a complete set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoded as the DNA within each of the 23 distinct chromosomes in the cell nucleus. A small DNA molecule is found within individual mitochondria.
