Is it possible that Y Chromosomes might actually disappear from genetic code? What would happen to species as we know them?

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

In about one out of every 800 people, two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. These are known as Robertsonian chromosomes. It's a mystery that has long stumped scientists. Now, ...

Scientists have achieved a genetic feat once thought impossible: removing an entire extra human chromosome using gene-editing ...

A gene on the X chromosome revs up inflammation in the female brain, which may explain why rates of multiple sclerosis are higher in women than in men, scientists suggest. When you purchase through ...

Our genome isn’t as peaceful as it looks—some DNA elements are constantly trying to disrupt it. Scientists studying fruit ...

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed – so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a ...
