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

New research shows that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
