Crick researchers identify key Y chromosome genes influencing sperm development

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice.

Uncovering the role of Y chromosome genes in male fertility in mice

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce enough sperm and are infertile.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified which Y chromosome genes regulate the development of sperm and influence male fertility in mice. This advance could help understand why some men do not produce enough sperm and are infertile.Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including sex chromosomes (XX in women and XY in men). While other chromosomes contain thousands of genes, the Y chromosome contains only a few dozen. This study,…

New Research Sheds Light on Y Chromosome’s Role in Male Infertility

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice.

Y Chromosome Genes That Impact Sperm Development and Fertility Uncovered in Mice

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute studying male mice engineered with different Y chromosome deletions have uncovered which genes on the mouse Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility. Their results could help scientists better understand why some men don’t produce enough sperm and are infertile. Jeremie Subrini, PhD, a postdoctoral research assistant in the Sex Chromosome Biology Laboratory at the Crick, said,…
