your fake tranny ""science"" got btfo, you will never be a real woman.  the site is not composed of intact telomeres. it contains a short, muddled sequence of telomere-like repeats (ttaggg) that is only 798 bases long, far smaller than the expected size (10,00030,000 bases for a fused telomere).  most of the telomeric repeats at the site are degenerate, with only a 70% match to an intact fusion sequence. the text notes that, given evolutionary timelines, this degree of degeneration is inconsistent with a fusion event occurring within the past 6 million years.  internally located telomere-like sequences (interstitial telomeric repeats) are common throughout the genome and serve regulatory functions. this undermines the idea that the sequence at the alleged fusion site is unique or definitive proof of a fusion.  claim: the chromosome has two centromeres, which can only happen via fusion.  response in text:  the supposed second (cryptic) centromere is highly problematic:  it is much smaller than a typical centromere, measuring only 41,608 bases compared to normal centromeres that range from 250,000 to 5,000,000 bases.  it does not contain the necessary alphoid dna sequences characteristic of functional centromeres. the sequences present do not match those found in active centromeres, nor do they closely resemble chimpanzee centromeric sequences.  the alleged cryptic centromere overlaps with a functional gene (ankrd30bl) and contributes to protein-coding sequences. this functionality contradicts the idea that it is a degenerate remnant of a second centromere.  the fusion site does not resemble a true telomere-to-telomere fusion and instead aligns with regulatory functions found in interstitial telomeric sequences.  the evidence for a second centromere is weak, as it lacks the structure, size, and sequences of a true centromere and is instead part of a functional protein-coding gene.
