- The scientists have successfully sequenced the Y chromosome for the first time.
- This reference sequence will facilitate the exploration of conditions and disorders tied to this chromosome.
- The Y chromosome is termed as the "dark matter" of the genome.
- Initial attempts to decipher the fundamental elements of our genetic code occurred two decades ago.
- Yet significant gaps persisted across the 23 pairs of human chromosomes.
- These gaps were substantially filled last year by an international collective of 100 researchers known as the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium.
