Once upon a time, the Y chromosome — responsible for determining male sex — was as robust as its X counterpart. Fast forward a few million years, and it’s now a slimmed-down version of its ...

Typically, females have two X chromosomes (XX), and males have one X and one Y (XY). However, some males have an additional X chromosome (XXY), and some females have an extra X too (XXX). The ...

Chromosome rearrangements caused by chromothripsis occur in 30%-40% of all cancers and are commonly found in aggressive tumors such as sarcomas, glioblastomas, and pancreatic cancer. Chromothripsis ...

A recent study suggests that the Y chromosome, essential for determining male sex, is gradually shrinking and may eventually disappear, potentially leading to a future where only females are born.
