“Now that we have this 100 percent complete sequence of the Y chromosome, we can identify and explore numerous genetic variations that could be impacting human traits and disease in a way that ...

While all human chromosomes contain repeats, more than 30 million letters of the Y chromosome — out of 62.5 million — are repetitive sequences, sometimes called satellite DNA or junk DNA.

The work reveals a complete catalog of the genes in the male sex chromosome — the last human chromosome to be fully sequenced — and how they're organized.. The findings, published Wednesday ...

The Y chromosome, along with the X chromosome, is often discussed for its role in sexual development. While these chromosomes play a central role, the factors involved in human sexual development are ...

The Y chromosome, which determines the sex of human and other mammal babies, is slowly degenerating and may disappear within a few million years, raising fears of extinction. However, a 2022 study ...

While all human chromosomes contain repeats, more than 30 million letters of the Y chromosome — out of 62.5 million — are repetitive sequences, sometimes called satellite DNA or junk DNA.

Miga and Adam Phillippy, the co-leader of T2T and a senior author on the Y chromosome study, initially came together to launch the consortium after working together in 2018, using ultralong reads to ...

The human Y chromosome, which contains the SRY gene responsible for male development, has been degenerating over time. Scientists estimate that at the current rate of gene loss, the Y chromosome ...

While all human chromosomes contain repeats, more than 30 million letters of the Y chromosome — out of 62.5 million — are repetitive sequences, sometimes called satellite DNA or junk DNA.

This complete Y chromosome has 106 protein-coding genes, which is 41 more than in the reference genome. But almost all these extra genes are just copies of one gene called TSPY.. At the same time ...
