A study conducted by a research team at the Crick Institute identified important genes on the Y chromosome that regulate ...

Researchers' initial understanding of meiosis was based upon careful observations of chromosome behavior using light microscopes. Then, in the 1950s, electron microscopy provided scientists with a ...

The study titled "Chromosome-scale genome dynamics reveal signatures of independent haplotype ... Another mechanism ...

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 ...

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 ...
