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

Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) could be useful tools for both understanding how mammalian chromosomes function and creating synthetic biological systems, but for the last 20 years, they have been ...

Did you know men can lose their Y chromosome as they age An expert explains how this genetic glitch impacts your heart increases disease risk and the lifestyle changes that can slow it down ...

AMES, Iowa – A new study led by an Iowa State University scientist sheds light on how organisms have evolved to address imbalances in sex chromosomes. The study looks at a species of softshell turtle, ...

Studies show aging men often lose the Y chromosome in some cells, a change now linked to heart disease, cancer, and shorter lifespans.

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

This loss, evident in almost half of older men, is associated with serious diseases throughout the body and a shorter ...

Molecular biologists long thought that domains in the genome's 3D organisation control how genes are expressed. After studying highly rearranged chromosomes in fruit flies, EMBL researchers now reveal ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from some of their cells as they age — a process once thought to be harmless because the Y carries relatively few genes beyond those involved in male determination.
