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 ...

Researchers are investigating the potential of CRISPR in relation to Down syndrome.

The humble Y chromosome may be the smallest chromosome in the mammalian genome (and getting even smaller), but it is mighty: genes on the Y chromosome are critical for fertility in males. In a new ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute studying male mice engineered with different Y chromosome deletions have uncovered which genes on the mouse Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm ...

Sex, Genes and Chromosomes: Their Discovery, Function and Evolution Jennifer A. Marshall Graves Cambridge Univ. Press (2026) “Sex is the most profound normal difference between human individuals,” ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell University ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of lupus, is an autoimmune disorder that occurs more frequently in ...

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes (typically XX for females, and XY for males). Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA ...
