Nearly two decades ago, Australian evolutionary biologist Professor Jenny Graves sparked one of the most persistent genetic debates of our time. In a commentary that followed her 2002 research, she ...
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 ...

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed. This loss has been linked to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and ...
The humble Y chromosome may be the smallest chromosome in the mammalian genome (and getting even smaller), but it is mighty: Genes on the Y chromosome are critical for fertility in males. In a new ...
As many as 1.5 million Americans have some form of autism. It's a mysterious brain disorder that takes its toll on social interaction and communication. In most cases, it shows up early before the age ...
