Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia - Y-chromosomal Aaron

Y-chromosomal Aaron is the name given to the hypothesised ancestor of the Kohanim (singular "Kohen" or Kohane), a patrilineal priestly caste in Judaism. In Scripture, this ancestor is identified as Aaron, the brother of Moses. The techniques used to find Y-chromosomal Aaron were first popularized in relation to the search for the patrilineal ancestor of all humans, Y-chromosomal Adam. Y-chromosomal Aaron - Background. In genetics, it is understood that every human has 46 chromosomes, of ...

Understandably, the finding led to a lot of excitement in religious circles, providing some "proof" of the historical veracity of the Bible [1] [2], but also leading to criticism [3]. Y-chromosomal Aaron - Was it Jacob?. One might argue that, from the premise of the study, all male Jews should share the same Y chromosome, because, according to the Bible, Aaron and Moses descended patrilineally from Jacob, the ancestor of all Jews. However, religious conversion and out-breeding (by intermarriage, adultery o ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia - Y-chromosomal Adam

In human genetics, Y-chromosomal Adam (Y-mrca) is the male counterpart to mitochondrial Eve: the most recent common ancestor from whom all male human Y chromosomes are descended. Unlike other genes, those of the Y chromosome are passed exclusively from father to sons, just as mitochondrial DNA is passed to all children only by their mothers. The Y-chromosomal Adam can also be defined as the most recent common patrilineal ancestor of all humans, considering an unbroken paternal line of descent only: fathers, paternal gran ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia - Y chromosome

The Y chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans and most other mammals. (The other is the X chromosome.) It is a part of the XY sex-determination system. It contains the genes that cause testis development, thus determining maleness. The Y chromosome spans about 50 million base pairs (the building blocks of DNA) and represents between 0.5 and 1 percent of the total DNA in cells. In most species, it contains the fewest genes of ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia - Chromosome

The DNA which carries genetic information in biological cells is normally packaged in the form of one or more large macromolecules called chromosomes. A chromosome (in Greek chroma = color and soma = body) is, minimally, a very long, continuous piece of DNA, which contains many genes, regulatory elements and other intervening nucleotide sequences. In the chromosomes of eukaryotes, the uncondensed DNA exists in a quasi-ordered structure inside the nucleus, where it wraps around histones (structural proteins, Fig. 1 ...

Aaron (אַהֲרֹן, a word meaning "bearer of martyrs" in Hebrew (perhaps also, or instead, related to the Egyptian "Aha Rw," "Warrior Lion"), Standard Hebrew Aharon, Tiberian Hebrew ʾAhărōn), was one of two brothers who play a unique part in the history of the Hebrew people. He was the elder son of Amram and Jochebed of the tribe of Levi; Moses, the other son, being three years younger, and Miriam, their sister, several years older (Exodus 2:4; Exodus 6:16 ff.; Numbers 33:39). Aaron was the great-grandson o ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia II - Y chromosome - Repair of the Y chromosome

Chromosomes have robust and accurate repair mechanisms. Over time random mistakes - mutations - occur throughout all chromosomes, and the existence of some high-accuracy repair mechanism is known to be necessary for the survival of the chromosome, and thus the species carrying the chromosome. The primary repair mechanism is dependent upon the fact that all people receive two sets of each chromosome, one from their mother and one from their father. Over time damage occurs, yet at the same time, chromosome pairs swap damaged genes out a ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia II - Chromosome - Chromosomal aberrations

Some chromosome abnormalities do not cause disease in carriers, such as translocations, or chromosomal inversions, although they may lead to a higher chance of having a child with a chromosome disorder. Abnormal numbers of chromosomes or chromosome sets, aneuploidy, may be lethal or give rise to genetic disorders. Genetic counseling is offered for families that may carry a chromosome rearrangement. The gain or loss of chromosome material can lead to a variety of genetic disorders. Examples include: Cri du chat, which is c ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia II - Mitochondrial Eve - Matrilineal descent

Although Mitochondrial Eve was named after Eve of the Genesis creation myth, this has led to some misunderstandings among the general public. A common misconception is that Mitochondrial Eve was the only living female of her time — she was not (indeed, had she been, humanity would have probably become extinct). Rather, at all times during humanity's existence there has been a large population of humans. Many women alive at the same time as Mitochondrial Eve have descendants alive today. However, only Mitochondrial Eve produced an unbrok ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia - Who is a Jew?

Who is a Jew? (Hebrew: ?מיהו יהודי) is the name of the religious, social and political debate on the exact definition of which person can be called Jewish. As Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation, a religion, an ethnicity, and a culture, the definition of who is a Jew may vary, depending on whether a religious, sociological, or national approach to identity is used. "Who is a Jew?" has also become a well-known rhetorical question within Judaism, referring to a cultural and religious battle to define who ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia II - Chromosome - Chromatin

Two types of chromatin can be distinguished: Euchromatin, which consists of DNA that is active, e.g., expressed as protein. Heterochromatin, which consists of mostly inactive DNA. It seems to serve structural purposes during the chromosomal stages. Heterochromatin can be further distinguished into two types: Constitutive heterochromatin, which is never expressed. It is located around the centromere and usually contains repetitive sequences. Facultative heterochromatin, which is ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia II - Y chromosome - Y chomosome-linked diseases

No vital genes reside only on the Y chromosome, since 50% of humans do not have Y chromosomes. The only well-defined human disease linked to a defect on the Y chromosome is defective testicular development (due to deletion or deleterious mutation of SRY. This results in sex reversal, so that a person with an XY karyotype has a female phenotype (i.e., is born a female). The lack of the second X results in infertility for her. However it is possible for an abnormal ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia II - Chromosome - Chromosomes in bacteria

Bacterial chromosomes are often circular but sometimes linear. Some bacteria have one chromosome, while others have a few. Bacterial DNA also exists as plasmids. The distinction between plasmids and chromosomes is poorly defined, though size and necessity are generally taken into account. Bacterial chromosomes initiate replication and one origin of replication. When linear, bacterial chromosomes tend to be tethered to the plasma membrane of the bacteria. In molecular biology application, this allows for its isolation from plasmid DNA by centrifugation of lysed bacte ...

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia - Semitic

Semitic is a linguistic term referring to a subdivision of largely Middle Eastern Afro-Asiatic languages, the Semitic languages, as well as their speakers' corresponding cultures, and ethnicities. Although there is much debate about the scope of the word's "racial" use in the context of population genetics and history, as a linguistic term the language family is well-defined to include ancient and modern versions of Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Akkadian, Hebrew, Maltese, Syriac, Tigrigna, et al.

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia II - Mitochondrial Eve - In popular culture

Bryan Sykes has written a popular science book entitled The Seven Daughters of Eve. The Discovery Channel has produced a documentary entitled The Real Eve. The Japanese novel, horror film and video game series Parasite Eve uses the Mitochondrial Eve theory as the basis for a fantasy about a scientist resurrecting his wife by regenerating her liver cells, with disastrous effects. Greg Egan ha ...

A Kohen (or Cohen, Hebrew "priest", pl. Kohanim or Cohanim), assumed to be a direct male descendant of the Biblical Aaron, brother of Moses, has a distinct personal status within Judaism. Kohen - The high priest. Kohen - Biblical data. Aaron, though he is but rarely called "the great priest," being generally simply designated "as ha-kohen" (the priest), was the first incumbent of the office, to which he was appointed by God (Ex. xxviii. 1, 2; xxix. 4, 5).

Y-chromosomal Aaron: Encyclopedia - Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism (alternatively spelled antisemitism) is hostility toward or prejudice against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group, which can range from individual hatred to institutionalized, violent persecution. The highly explicit ideology of Adolf Hitler's Nazism was the most extreme example of this phenomenon. Anti-Semitism has historically taken different forms: Religious anti-Semitism, or anti-Judaism. Before the 19th century, most anti-Semitism was primarily religious in nature, based on Christian or ...
