"This significant gene loss over the centuries has led scientists to predict that the Y chromosome might vanish entirely in about 11 million years," said Earth.com. From our morning news briefing ...

To Shakespeare’s Hamlet we humans are “the paragon of animals”. But recent advances in genetics are suggesting that humans ...

"The Y chromosome has many sections that repeat, and even some that are palindromes -- the same forwards and backwards. It makes it challenging to understand which genes are encoded there ...

I married a tall woman out of love, partly from genetic ambition. I figured we’d gift our kids a vertical advantage. It turns ...

My name is Gregor Mendel, and I am a friar and the founder of genetics. I spent decades of my life staring at pea plants. I bred them with each other. I observed the traits of their offspring.

a professor of molecular and human genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine and co-corresponding author of the study published Thursday in the journal Cell. In prior findings, the fragments were ...

“There is a lot for Myriad Genetics to be proud of in 2024. We generated 11% revenue growth over 2023, making this our second consecutive year of double-digit growth, and $40 million in adjusted ...

At this rate, the last 55 genes will be gone in 11 million years. The good news is we know of two rodent lineages that have already lost their Y chromosome – and are still surviving. The mole ...

Researchers are looking to genetics to learn more and prevent early deaths. People of South Asian origin are more likely to be affected by heart disease, but their risks often go unnoticed.

To that end, a new study by University at Buffalo researchers has identified 11 genes that may hold the key to understanding the brain's response to these pervasive chemicals commonly found in ...

One of the genes consistently upregulated was thioredoxin-interacting protein, which has been linked to neuronal cell death. "Each of these 11 genes exhibited consistent regulation across all PFAS ...
