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 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.

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 ...

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 ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Predicting the human genome using evolution Date: October 29, 2015 Source: Molecular Biology and Evolution (Oxford University Press) Summary: By observing evolution's 'greatest hits' (and misses ...

A new, more complete version of the human genome is already bearing fruit after being released two months ago. It has revealed enormous amounts of genetic variation between people that couldn’t ...

Theoretical, anthropological and genetic studies suggest that human evolution has been shaped by gene–culture interactions. This Review collates data from these diverse fields, and highlights ...

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 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 ...
