One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In a new study, scientists probed the ways in which the X chromosome may change with age and ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute studying male mice engineered with different Y chromosome deletions have uncovered which genes on the mouse Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm ...

Scientists warn that the human Y chromosome has lost most of its genes over millions of years, and new research suggests ...

The Y chromosome is perhaps the most puzzling part of the human genome. Associated with male development, it is chock-full of repetitive and inverted stretches of DNA, a hurdle that makes it ...

Scientists remain divided over whether the human Y chromosome will eventually vanish. But clinicians say the real concern ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered a gene on the Y chromosome that contributes to the greater incidence of heart failure in men. Y chromosome loss in men occurs ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't ...
