Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

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 ...

Scientists know that the Y chromosome is essential for male fertility ... reservoir of sperm stem cells or abnormal sperm shape or movement. Interestingly, some other genes had no impact when ...

A new study reveals that the maternal X chromosome may accelerate brain ageing and increase Alzheimer's risk. Experiments on female lab mice showed th ...

Cephalopods may have the oldest sex chromosomes of any animal, according to a new discovery in the octopus genome. That's a big deal given that scientists didn't know until now if these oddball ...

In each female cell, one X chromosome must be inactivated—crumpled ... offers insights on the forces that restrict the RNA's movement, with implications for how to treat X-linked diseases ...

The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the biological sex, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that develop in a person.

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

"Given the fact that the X chromosome is enriched for brain-related genes, it became very important for us to know what roles it might be playing in brain aging," said Samira Abdulai-Saiku, Ph.D ...
