Tiny, spiny echidnas and the duck‑billed platypus already look like misfits, but the bigger oddity hides in their DNA. For most mammals, a gene on the Y chromosome called SRY flips the switch for ...

The team first identified nine genes that could serve as a “signature” of gene activity that identifies cells lacking the Y chromosome. They then searched for this signature among data that represents ...

It's been known since at least the 1960s that blood cells tend to lose Y chromosomes as men age, but the fact that this chromosomal disappearing act is associated with a shorter lifespan, higher ...

Researchers from the University of Arizona have unveiled that coordinated Y chromosome loss in both cancer cells and immune cells may explain the worse prognosis in people with this alteration. The ...
