- 13Clam Shrimp Genome Sheds Light on Young Sex Chromosomes●Clam Shrimp Genome Offers Rare Window Into Young Sex Chromosomes
Researchers have sequenced the genome of the clam shrimp, an organism whose sex chromosomes are evolutionarily young. Because the chromosomes have diverged only recently, they offer scientists an unusual opportunity to observe how sex chromosomes form and degenerate over time, a process usually hidden in older, well-established systems like those of humans and many mammals.
