* Evolutionary gene loss has steadily reduced the Y chromosome to a small set of essential genes * Gene// conversion may increase variation but does not restore lost genetic function * Future sex ...

Today, any medical textbook would correct this, but until the mid-20th century, the accepted scientific consensus was that humans had 48 chromosomes. The assumption persisted for more than three ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

The Emirati pangenome combines chromosome-scale assemblies with a population-specific graph that captures regional variation ...

"X and Y chromosomes are often thought of as simple determinants for biological sex, but their role in human health is much ...

Results provide framework for uncovering regulatory variants in other X chromosome neurodevelopmental genes that may ...

To Shakespeare's Hamlet, we humans are "the paragon of animals." But recent advances in genetics are suggesting that humans are far from being evolution's greatest achievement. For example, humans ...

Behavioural genetics is the interdisciplinary effort to establish causal links between genes and animal (including human) behavioural traits and neural mechanisms. Methods used include twin studies, ...
