FROM LIABILITY TO VIABILITY: GENES ON THE Y CHROMOSOME PROVE ESSENTIAL FOR MALE SURVIVAL
According to new research published by Whitehead Director David Page, the Y chromosome is not just important in the reproductive tract. Instead, approximately a dozen genes conserved on the Y are expressed in cells and tissue types throughout the body and are involved in decoding and interpreting the entirety of the genome.
