In a surprising event, a new study has revealed that the X chromosome passed down to the child from the mother might be responsible for accelerated brain ageing, potentially increasing the risk of ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact ...

Researchers say study represents a resource that could also help to dissect Y-gene functions in other tissues.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes (typically XX for females, and XY for males). Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA ...

A study finds that female mice using only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging, leading to memory loss.

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X ...

The completion of chromosome synXVI allows scientists to explore new possibilities in metabolic engineering and strain ...

Researchers found that female mice using only maternal X chromosomes showed faster cognitive decline, which could help ...

Scientists have completed construction of the final chromosome in the worlds' first synthetic yeast genome following more than a decade of work, opening new possibilities for creating resilient, ...
