☆ Scientists have completely sequenced the human Y chromosome for the first time, with huge implications for heath and evolution research

Researchers published two new papers on the human Y chromosome. That's because the Y chromosome is "the most complex, most repetitive chromosome," said Monika Cechova, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz. AdvertisementAdvertisementKaren Miga was one of the researchers involved in fully sequencing the human Y chromosome. The worldwide Y chromosomeFor the single-sequence paper, researchers sequenced the Y chromosome of a single individual of European descent, known as the HG002 genome. Because of all the gaps in the Y chromosome genome reference, researchers haven't fully understood how the chromosome contributes to overall health.

☆ Scientists solve the genetic puzzle of sex-related Y chromosome
  + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Males possess one Y and one X chromosome while females have two X chromosomes, with some exceptions. But until now, the Y chromosome part of the human genome had contained big gaps. In addition to identifying some additional Y chromosome genes, the researchers found that some DNA from the chromosome had been mistaken in previous studies as bacterial in nature. The first complete human genome - albeit with the Y chromosome partial - was published last year. Fully sequencing the Y chromosome adds to this.

☆ Scientists updated the human genome to make it more inclusive
  + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The scientists involved say it will improve our ability to diagnose disease, discover new drugs and understand the genetic variants that lead to ill health or a particular physical trait. The pangenome, a digital amalgamation of sequences that can be used to compare, construct and study other human genome sequences, is still a draft. The first draft of the human genome was released in 2001 and was only fully completed in 2022. The new pangenome reference is an amalgamation of different genomes from 47 people with ancestry from around the world.
