The ape sex chromosomes have now been fully sequenced. Rapid evolution has led to extreme differences in the Y chromosome between species, whereas the X chromosome experienced much less dynamic ...
The evolution of sex chromosomes influences reproductive biology and genome evolution across species. In Drosophila pseudoobscura, the Y chromosome has a distinct origin compared to Drosophila ...
New findings challenge researchers' understanding of how the Y chromosome evolved -- rather than being the slowest component of the genome to change, as generally believed, it might just be the ...
A 3D graphic showing an artist's interpretation of human X and Y chromosomes. On the left are blue bundles of genetic material making an X shape and on the right blue bundles of genetic material ...
Sex chromosomes are chromosomes, or packages of DNA, that are found inside the nucleus of all of your cells. There are two different kinds: X and Y, which determine whether you’re biologically male ...
