The tech that made this possible is really cool. They force DNA through a teeny-tiny hole in a protein, and measure changes in voltage to ID each individual letter.
Totally different from traditional shotgun sequencing!
That's indeed amazing!
Tl;dr: was difficult due to repetitive structure. Will enable further research.
The achievement completes the Y chromosome's genetic code and unveils key details that could provide a crisper picture of the role the chromosome plays in male-specific development, fertility, and genetically triggered diseases like cancer
