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 ...

Genetics is the branch of science concerned with genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including ...

Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA located at specific points on a chromosome. The Y chromosome is an exception, only containing a few dozen genes.

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

The research team used specialised gene editing tools to identify and fix problems in the synthetic chromosome affecting how well the yeast could reproduce and grow under challenging conditions.

“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, PhD, a ...

There's evidence of genes on the X chromosome that help guard against dementia, while others contribute to the risk of cognitive decline, said Rachel Buckley, an associate professor of neurology ...
