Today, researchers announced yet another version of the human genome map, which combines the DNA of 47 diverse individuals—Africans, Native Americans, and Asians, among other groups—into one ...

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 ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

Genetic variation While each person’s genome varies only slightly — by about 0.4% compared to the next person on average — the human genome is massive, consisting of 3.2 billion pairs end to ...

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 ...

Analysis of sequence variation provides clues about what makes us different from each other and why we respond differently to disease. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Genetics, David Reich ...

A genome is an organism's genetic blueprint - in this case a human - and contains the information needed for development and growth. But each person's genome varies slightly - about 0.4% on ...

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

By embedding these recombinase handles into repetitive sequences, which consist of hundreds or thousands of identical sequences in the genome, they were able to integrate nearly 1,700 recombinase ...

Genetic variation While each person’s genome varies only slightly — by about 0.4% compared to the next person on average — the human genome is massive, consisting of 3.2 billion pairs end to ...
