Y chromosome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Y chromosome is the sex-determining chromosome in most mammals, including humans. In mammals, it contains the gene SRY, which triggers testis development, thus determining sex. The human Y chrom...

Y-chromosomal Adam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In human genetics, Y-chromosomal Adam ( Y-MRCA ) is the patrilineal human most recent common ancestor (MRCA) from whom all Y chromosomes in living men are descended. Y-chromosomal Adam is thus the...

The Y chromosome — with the genes to make a man — has been sequenced. Often regarded as a genetic wasteland, the sequence reveals that we may have underestimated its powers. Here, Nature presents the research, as well as news, reviews and analysis.

The Y chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans (the other is the X chromosome). The sex chromosomes form one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes in each cell. The Y chromosome spans about 58 million base pairs (the building blocks of DNA) and represents almost 2 percent of the total DNA in cells.

Researchers have found that, over the millennia, the Y chromosome has lost most of it genes. What if it were to disappear altogether? NPR's Joe Palca explores that possibility in the first report of a three-part series on the End of Men. ... It takes a man to carry a Y chromosome, and it takes the Y chromosome to make...

The Y Chromosome Consortium (YCC) is a group involved in a collaborative effort to study genetic variation on the human Y chromosome. The YCC Web is a forum for communicating information relating to the NRY.

The human Y chromosome determines maleness by causing the development of the testis. It is an unusual segment of the human genome since, apart from two small regions in which pairing and exchange take place with the X chromosome, it is male-specific and haploid, and escapes from recombination.
