Fascinating read on how Y chromosome changes drive reproductive incompatibility. Great work by Yukiko and her team at #WhiteheadInstitute! #YChromosome #EvolutionaryBiology #Biology #MIT #ResearchSky

Tracking back such a big population (1 in 200 of all men) to one relatively recent lineage always was sus to me.
my confirmation bias is very happy about the results this study.Far fewer people are related to Genghis Khan than previously assumed, new genomic study suggests | Live Science

"Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health.
But evidence has mounted over the past few years that when people who have a Y chromosome lose it, the loss is associated with serious diseases throughout the body, contributing to a shorter lifespan."

Modern human DNA contains bits from all over the Neanderthal genome, except the Y chromosome. What happened?

New paper explains why females are prone to #autoimmune diseases
80% of #patients with autoimmune diseases are #female. There is evidence suggesting that it's females’ double complement of #Xchromosome that puts them at such heightened risk for autoimmune diseases. Female cells have two X #chromosomes, whereas males have one X chromosome and one #Ychromosome (at least in mammals).
A system that shuts down one of two X chromosomes is targeted by auto-antibodies. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/02/female-propensity-for-autoimmune-diseases-tied-to-x-chromosome-inactivation/ -

I managed to get on the road at 2:15 am, make it to Winnipeg, find parking, get checked in, get my badge, figure out the Wi-Fi, and find the room for my 11:30 #NASFIC/#PemmiCon panel--The Disappearance of Man--with Julie Czerneda and Electra Hammond. Yay, me.

“The study, published today in the journal Nature, found that loss of the Y chromosome helps cancer cells evade the body's immune system. This common impact of the aging process in men results in aggressive bladder cancer, but somehow also renders the disease more vulnerable—and responsive—to a standard treatment called immune checkpoint inhibitors.” #dna #epigenetics #ychromosome #bladdercancer #geneadons #isogg

Men are slowly losing their Y #chromosome, but a new sex #gene discovery in spiny rats brings hope for humanity
The imminent – evolutionarily speaking – disappearance of the human #Ychromosome has elicited speculation about our future.
What if more than one new system evolves in different parts of the world?
A “war” of the #sex #genes could lead to the separation of new species
