ABSTRACT
As a male-specific chromosome, the structure of Y chromosome is complex and lacks of recombination, with numerous repeating, amplifying and palindromic sequences. The research of Y chromosome is difficult and slow since there are few protein coding genes and a large amount of heterochromatin which has caused extreme difficulty for sequencing. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have been focused on the Y chromosome. With the completion of the sequencing of human Y chromosome, the rapid development of sequencing technology, and the composition of DNA sequences in human Y chromosomes and the determination of gene content. This paper has summarized the structural composition and genes function of human Y chromosome, as well as the related hereditary diseases, with an aim to provide reference for Y chromosome-related genetic research.
