For decades, the Y chromosome – one of the two human sex chromosomes – has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...

Since the 1 920s, when researchers began to study chromosomes, the analysis of human chromosomes has presented a particularly tough technological challenge, simply because there are so many of them.

Highly challenging to sequence and long overlooked, the human Y chromosome's contributions to health and disease remain largely unknown. A new paper that presents, for the first time, the complete ...

Scientists have finally uncovered the exact DNA sequence where human chromosomes fuse to form Robertsonian chromosomes, a mystery that has puzzled researchers for over a century. Using advanced genome ...
