A Quantitative Understanding of Human Sex Chromosomal Genes

In the last few decades, the human allosomes are engrossed in an intensive attention among researchers. The allosomes are now already been sequenced and found there are about 2000 and 78 genes in human X and Y chromosomes respectively. The hemizygosity of the human X chromosome in males exposes recessive disease alleles, and this phenomenon has prompted decades of intensive study of X-linked disorders. By contrast, the small size of the human Y chromosome, and its prominent long-arm heterochromatic region suggested absence of function beyond sex determination. But the present problem is to accomplish whether a given sequence of nucleotides i.e. a DNA is a Human X or Y chromosomal genes or not, without any biological experimental support. In our perspective, a proper quantitative understanding of these genes is required to justify or nullify whether a given sequence is a Human X or Y chromosomal gene. In this paper, some of the X and Y chromosomal genes have been quantified in genomic and proteomic level through Fractal Geometric and Mathematical Morphometric analysis. Using the proposed quantitative model, one can easily make probable justification or deterministic nullification whether a given sequence of nucleotides is a probable Human X or Y chromosomal gen e or not, without seeking any biological experiment. Of course, a further biological experiment is essential to validate it as the probable Human X or Y chromosomal gene homologue. This study would enable Biologist s to understand these genes in more quantitative manner instead of their qualitative features.
