The new sequence fills in gaps across more than 50% of the Y chromosome's length and uncovers important genomic features with implications for fertility, such as factors in sperm production. The study was published in the journal Nature¹.The Y chromosome has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. It contains large amounts of repetitive DNA, which made it difficult to compile a complete sequence until now³. The researchers were able to achieve a gapless read of the Y chromosome due to advances in long-read sequencing technology and new, innovative computational assembly methods that could deal with the repetitive sequences and transform the raw data from sequencing into a usable resource¹.This achievement is significant because it finally completes the set of end-to-end human chromosomes and adds 30 million new bases to the human genome reference, mostly from challenging-to-sequence satellite DNA. These bases reveal 41 additional protein-coding genes, and provide crucial insight for those studying important questions related to reproduction, evolution, and population change¹.
