Scientists have warned that men may become extinct due to the deterioration of the Y chromosome, which is primarily found in ...

Each of these pairs is similar, except one. While females typically have two X chromosomes, males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. But which gene on the Y chromosome causes a developing ...

The human genome is organized into 46 chromosomes, where all but the X and Y chromosomes in men are present in two copies.

“This work is really important because the X chromosome has largely been excluded from genetic studies in the past,” said Amy ...

Boys are three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls, research suggests, and scientists found a link that may shine a light on why. According to new research from the Geisinger ...

Increased risk for autism appears to be linked to the Y chromosome, a Geisinger Health System study has found, offering a new explanation for the greater prevalence of autism in males. The results ...

By exploiting the genetic variation in cancer cells, an already approved cancer drug demonstrated enhanced effects against cancer cells in specific patient groups. This is shown in a recent study from ...

Recently, a unique kitten came through the doors of Marin Humane. In fact, little Luigi is 1 in 3,000. Those are the chances ...
