The organization and evolution of the human Y chromosome.

Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology, University of Edinburgh, Ashworth Laboratories, Edinburgh EH9 2BR, UK. Brian.Charlesworth@ed.ac.uk

The recent sequencing of a large chunk of euchromatin from the human Y chromosome is a technical tour de force. It answers some evolutionary questions about this unusual chromosome while raising others.
