Complete X and Y chromosome sequences of living great ape species determined

Newly generated, complete “end-to-end” reference genomes for the sex chromosomes of five great ape species and one lesser ape species—produced by an international collaborative team led by researchers at Penn State, the National Human Genome Research Institute and the University of Washington—highlight extremely rapid changes on the male-specific Y chromosome among ape species. Newly generated, complete “end-to-end” reference genomes for the sex chromosomes of five great ape species and one lesser ape species—produced by an international collaborative team led by researchers at Penn State, the National Human Genome Research Institute and the University of Washington—highlight extremely rapid changes on the male-specific Y chromosome among ape species. Plants & Animals Molecular & Computational biology Phys.org – latest science and technology news stories
