Men losing Y chromosomes as they age may face a higher risk of heart disease, cancer, and reduced life expectancy. Here’s ...

A team of researchers have generated the first complete chromosome sequences from non-human primates. Published in Nature, these sequences uncover remarkable variation between the Y chromosomes of ...

Advancements in genome sequencing have challenged the long-standing belief that the position of the centromere in the chromosome is fixed. Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, have analyzed ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

Cell division is an essential process by which living organisms grow, replenish lost cells, and regenerate dead and damaged tissues. When a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, chromosomes—the ...
