Male chromosome seriously weird
Posted on June 19, 2003 @ 11:01 in General
Wired is running a seriously weird story. The entire text of the story reads like this:
The Y chromosome is probably the weirdest chromosome in the human genome. Scientists already knew that it determines the male sex, but other than that it was considered a genetic junkyard. It contains very few actual genes -- the rest is repetitious, random DNA.
The screenshot is proof... but probably it's just a mistake, where they forgot to paste in the body of the article, leaving just the title and intro to be published.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
