Research shows Y chromosome to be safe from extinction.
Byline: Tina Hesman
ST. LOUIS _ The Rodney Dangerfield of the genome may finally be getting the respect it deserves.
The Y chromosome _ the piece of DNA that makes a man a man _ is independent, crafty, and far from the genetic wasteland it was thought to be.
Scientists used to think that men might become extinct, that people might have to find new ways to have sex, and that we might evolve into a new species, all as a result of the demise of the Y chromosome.
But a new study by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass., has determined that the Y is here to stay. The landmark research is the first to explore the contents of the Y chromosome of any species. The results appeared Wednesday in…
