Scientists published a full genetic sequence of the genes that make some white campions male, and hope their work could ...

What stands out the most about this ancient cephalopod sex chromosome is how little the chromosome has changed over time.

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

Scientists at University of Oregon discover one of the oldest known animal sex chromosomes in California two-spot octopus.

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 ...

New research at the UO reveals that they have been using one that has existed for 480 million years. The octopus has just ...

This discovery offers a glimmer of hope that humans, too, could evolve a new sex-determining mechanism if the Y chromosome were to disappear. The potential disappearance of the Y chromosome has ...

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

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 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 ...

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

Humans possess two kinds of chromosomes, labeled X and Y. Typically, females have a pair ... Thus, Chang believes this ...
