Human biological sex is determined by the sex chromosomes X and Y. In most cases, females possess two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. However, there is some evidence that the Y ...

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

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

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair.

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 ...

plays a critical role in the disintegration of the Y chromosome, linking LOY to genomic instability and aging processes. LOY in human male cells was first identified over 60 years ago but gained ...

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

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

Human genetics is complex ... The final pair are sex chromosomes, which scientists label X and Y. The Y chromosome is associated with the development of male sex characteristics.
