Lack Of Protein May Trigger DNA Damage And Reduce Lifespans In Females, Finds Study
Findings published in the journal Nature show that 'SIRT7', a protein involved in how cells respond to stress and ageing, plays a critical role in maintaining the health of the X chromosome, one of two sex chromosomes that determine one's biological sex.

Children Inherit Intelligence From Mothers, Says Study
Mother's genes may determine how clever the children will be, whereas the father makes no difference to their intelligence levels, a new research suggests.

Male Without Y Chromosome: A Step Towards Better Understanding Sex Differentiation
Taking a step ahead to understand sex differentiation, a recent study has revealed that key sex-determining genes continue to operate in a mammalian species that lacks the Y chromosome.
