Learn how sex-biased interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans explains why Neanderthal DNA is largely missing ...

A preference for pairings between male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens may answer the question of why there are "Neanderthal deserts" in human chromosomes.

Geneticists have a better understanding of how prehistoric pairings unfolded, with new research suggesting they were mostly ...

When ancient humans interbred, new research shows that the pairings were predominantly male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens.

A new study published in Nature Genetics by the Lymphoid Development Group at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences has reveals that the contribution of cells expressing maternal or paternal X ...

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they have now found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X chromosome, the animals’ memory and ...

In a surprise, work in mice has found that the dormant X chromosome in females can reawaken late in life and turn on genes that keep the brain healthy. UCSF researchers may have discovered how the ...
