Study provides the first complete view of a Y chromosomes code as per geneticist and coauthor Karen Miga . It is the last of the chromosomes threadlike structures that carry genetic information from cell to cell in the human genome to be sequenced . The Y chromosome genes help govern crucial reproductive functions including sperm production formally called spermatogenesis and are even involved in cancer risk and severity .
Full understanding of the Y chromosomes genes offers promise for practical applications including in fertilityrelated research . The complete X chromosome sequence was published in . The work revealed features of medically relevant regions of . the Y chromosome including a stretch of DNA the molecule that carries genetic information for an organisms development and functioning containing several genes involved in sperm production .
The new fuller understanding of . sperm production could be helpful for IVF in vitro fertilization clinics as well as further research into activity of these genes . The researchers say . further research to further research of . these genes could be further research in the .
clinics as a result of the research into further research by the University of California Santa Cruz biomolecular engineering professor and study coauthor Monika Cechova said . The full sequence was released in the journal Nature on August August 31, 2013 .
