Human Y Chromosome Finally Decoded

Live Science

Scientists have finally filled the gaps in the sequence of the human Y chromosome, 20 years after the first draft of its DNA code was published. 

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. More

  1. This article is misinformation!
    I mean, get a load of this:
    “The Y chromosome is one of two chromosomes, along with the X chromosome, that determine biological sex in humans. Females typically have two X chromosomes, whereas males usually have one of each type. ”
    /sarc for those in the back of the room!

  2. “…the last human chromosome to be fully sequenced — and how they’re organized.”

    And how they are expressed in the organism, the repression or expression of specific pairs and what effect in solitary or grouped presences is still a mystery.

    This is akin to having a map of a part of an ocean when you have no boat.

    Laudable work, to be sure, that will assist future research. But on its own, practically worthless with the ancillary tools we have today.

  4. “As for developing new therapies to treat diseases that may be linked to the Y chromosome”

    Oh, being a pervert, Trans, queer or any of the other 72 sexes could simply be a disease after all.

    I just knew it had to do with the “Y” Chromosome. It’s always the guys fault./s

  5. Well, if “soince-tists” jave “filled the gaps” tjen the result is a Rorschach test. It is whatever they say it is.

    A friend’s wife, a microbiologist, was fond of saying that the Y-chromosome is twisted and carries no information, which explains men’s fascination with fire, speed, sharp objects.

    So, Cynic, possibly explains the toilet seats too.

    I do know that it manifests itself on a macro scale in that any carefully wound hose, cords, or cable will have multiple snarles and knots in it when deployed.
