Non-Africans carry around 2% Neanderthal DNA in their genomes — yet there's one chromosome where DNA from our ancient cousins is nowhere to be found. At several points in our tangled history, modern ...

A nearly gapless genome sequence of the echidna, an egg-laying mammal with multiple sex chromosomes, helps researchers to track genomic reorganization events that gave rise to a highly unusual sex ...

Sex is determined in a variety of different ways throughout the animal kingdom. In mammals, it is determined genetically, not by temperature, as it can be in reptiles. Typically, females have two X ...
