Y Not? The Full Story Behind Sequencing Humanity’s Most Elusive Chromosome
The Telomere-to-Telomere consortium has fully sequenced the Y chromosome, uncovering 41 new genes and adding 30 million new bases to the human genome. This breakthrough…
Genomics is a field of biology centered on mapping, understanding, and editing genomes. Recent breakthroughs in genomics have increased our understanding of hereditary diseases like diabetes, cancer, and lymphoma as well as assisted in work done in evolutionary biology and ecology.
