Single deletions may be asymptomatic, but 'multiple deletions lead to infertility'—Mouse study with comprehensive deletion of ...

A new study shows that cancer cells selectively erode gene-rich regions of the Y chromosome, disrupting regulatory pathways ...

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 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 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 ...

"X and Y chromosomes are often thought of as simple determinants for biological sex, but their role in human health is much ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...
