Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date - a ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic centimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.

Protein-coding versus noncoding genes When deciding the number of genes in the human genome, Human Genome Project researchers initially counted protein-coding genes—regions of chromosomal DNA that are ...

What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once ...

For more basic information about genes, visit the Glossary. A rough draft of the human genome was completed in June 2000. Efforts are underway to complete a final draft of the human genome ...

How did it become possible to sequence the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome? More than a quarter of a century’s worth of work from hundreds of scientists made such projects possible.

(The key along the bottom of the diagram tells you how each human chromosome has been coded.) Then, in the top part of the figure, each synteny with chromosome 15 in the Tetraodon genome has also ...

In order to exploit its secrets, it is vital that the human genome is fully understood ... which is similar to a family tree diagram that showed the close relationship of those affected and ...
