"Rapid Evolution of Primate Y Chromosome Over 80 Million Years"
A new study has revealed that the Y chromosome of primates has undergone rapid evolution over the past 80 million years, resulting in gene loss and structural changes. The study, which analyzed the Y chromosomes of 20 primate species, sheds light on the evolution of sex determination and the role of the Y chromosome in intragenomic conflict. The findings also suggest that the Y chromosome may not be as genetically inert as previously thought.
