Cattle and sheep T2T Y chromosomes were published in Nature Communications
This study refers to a complete, telomere-to-telomere sequence of the sheep and cattle Y chromosome, meaning the entire chromosome has been sequenced without gaps, providing a comprehensive view of its genetic structure, including the often complex and repetitive regions, which is particularly important for studying sex determination and evolution in sheep and cattle.
