When soaring temperatures, extreme weather and catastrophic wildfires strike the headlines, population get started asking for quick fixes to climate change. The U.S. executive simply introduced the first awards from a US$3.5 billion fund for initiatives that guarantee to tug carbon dioxide out of the breeze. Policymakers also are exploring extra invasive types of geoengineering − the planned, large-scale manipulation of Earth’s herbal methods. The underlying…

The ‘weird’ male Y chromosome has finally been fully sequenced. Can we now understand how it works, and how it evolved?

The Y chromosome is a never-ending source of fascination (particularly to men) because it bears genes that determine maleness and make sperm. It’s also small and seriously weird; it carries few genes and is full of junk DNA that makes it horrendous to sequence. However, new “long-read” sequencing techniques have finally provided a reliable sequence…
