Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human ...

Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the dormant X get "reawakened" later in life, potentially giving the brain a boost.

Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease -- aortic valve stenosis -- progresses differently in males and females. A study led by bioengineers at the University of ...

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 ...

Scientists published a full genetic sequence of the genes that make some white campions male, and hope their work could unlock how the flower got that way. By Veronique Greenwood The vast majority of ...

On September 8, 1966, Star Trek first aired in the United States, launching a cultural and technological imagination that has profoundly shaped public ...

The research team, led by scientists including Ryo Hashizume, worked with skin cells and induced pluripotent stem cells derived from people with Down syndrome. Rather than altering individual genes, ...
