The conventional approach measures variation in an individual’s genome against a reference. ... fewer than 2 percent of human genome sequences come from individuals in sub-Saharan Africa.

UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome—a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic information of 47 ...

The new Human Genome Variation Map will replace the current snarl of isolated, incompatible databases of human genetic variation with a single, fundamental representation formalized as a very large ...

The roughly two-decade-old human reference genome derives mostly from one man, but is a patchwork quilt of more than 60 people’s DNA (SN: 3/4/21). It has been restitched and added to over the ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Traces of those migrations are recorded in human DNA — and, specifically, in the millions of spots on the genome where the genetic code can vary from person to person.

Scientists on Thursday published the first complete human genome, filling in gaps remaining after previous efforts while offering new promise in the search for clues regarding disease-causing ...

Scientists have fully sequenced the human genome for the first time—something that has been a scientific goal for decades. During sequencing, the DNA of an organism is chopped up, read, and then ...
