A study finds that female mice using only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging, leading to memory loss.

"Given the fact that the X chromosome is enriched for brain-related genes, it became very important for us to know what roles ...

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

In collaboration with colleagues from international partner institutions, researchers at the University of Cologne have ...

The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove of genes that influence cognition, and these could be therapeutic targets, ...

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.

The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

Females carry two X chromosomes, after inheriting one from each parent. In order to stop serious problems from arising, cells ...

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

Researchers 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 produce enough ...
