New techniques to detect Y chromosome genes show frequent loss of the Y in tissues of older men. The increase with age is clear: 40% of 60-year-old men show loss of Y, but 57% of 90-year-olds.

Genetic studies now identify millions of variants across human populations, yet most disease-associated signals fall outside protein-coding regions. This ...
