Jenny Graves receives funding from The Australian Research Council. Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...

Soil compaction can devastate yields for years. An upcoming webinar series hosted by the University of Minnesota and NDSU on the subject brings together experts from the U.S., Canada and Australia.

Human egg cells are often prone to chromosomal errors. As women age, the error rate increases sharply — and can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and ...

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 ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...
