From fighting diseases to determining why you can't stand cilantro, genetics are the silent architects of your life. Here's ...

A study conducted by a research team at the Crick Institute identified important genes on the Y chromosome that regulate sperm development and male fertility. Using thirteen mouse models, the ...

Plastic chemicals may harm DNA, as new research reveals how additives disrupt nematode egg formation, suggesting risks to ...

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

Your body is a collection of cells carrying thousands of genetic mistakes accrued over a lifetime—many harmless, some bad and ...

Maternal DNA, particularly the X chromosome, significantly influences a baby’s brain development and aging. Genetic ...

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes (typically XX for females, and XY for males). Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA ...

New research shows that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive ...

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 ...

To turn genes off and on, cells use Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) motors that act like switches to connect ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome region known as 22q11.2 , which involves genes that regulate ...
