The chromosome associated with male development, which is the last mysterious piece of the human genome, has been fully sequenced by a team of more than 100 researchers around the world, including ...

The male Y chromosome has disappeared from a species of rat, leading scientists to investigate how humans might also lose ours in the near future. It's not all bad news for men though, as a paper ...

Jenny Graves receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Y chromosome is a never-ending source of fascination (particularly to men) because it bears genes that determine maleness and ...

For any mammal, the loss of the Y chromosome should mean the loss of males and the demise of the species. So how the Amami spiny rat manages without a Y chromosome has puzzled biologists for decades.

Robertsonian chromosomes (ROB) are a type of structurally variant chromosome that is created when two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. Found commonly in nature, these chromosomes are ...

The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium, co-led by UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute Associate Director Karen Miga and National Institutes of Health Genomics Research Institute Senior Investigator ...

Scientists have confirmed that men are still evolving — or at least the male chromosome is. Y chromosome is what makes men men. A few years ago, scientists began wondering whether it was in trouble.

Sex chromosomes are chromosomes, or packages of DNA, that are found inside the nucleus of all of your cells. There are two different kinds: X and Y, which determine whether you’re biologically male ...

Robertsonian chromosomes are large chromosomes that form when the long arm of a chromosome breaks and fuses with another chromosome. They are the most common type of chromosome rearrangement in humans ...
