Researchers announced a major scientific milestone–the mapping of the human genome. Dr. Emily Senay explained what this means for science, medicine and humanity. This breakthrough is as ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Creation Of Linkage Map Falters, Posing Delay For Genome Project Researchers, discouraged by mapping's drudgery, doubt that a 5-year plan to finish high-resolution image is now feasible.

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 ...

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

Study presents a genome-wide map, "Gnocchi," constructed from 76,156 human genomes, revealing that non-coding regions rich in regulatory elements are crucial in understanding human traits and ...

The human genome is by far the largest genome to be sequenced, and its size and complexity present many challenges for sequence assembly. The International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium ...

We describe a map of 1.42 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed throughout the human genome, providing an average density on available sequence of one SNP every 1.9 kilobases.

Whitehead Institute researchers have created a map of the DNA loops that comprise the three dimensional (3D) structure of the human genome and regulate gene expression in human embryonic stem (ES ...

The work of the late Dr. Glen Evans, who led UT Southwestern’s piece of the human genome puzzle for only a few years, played at least a small part in bringing those scientists together 20 years ...

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The new “pangenome” incorporates the DNA of 47 individuals from every ...

Whitehead Institute researchers have created a map of the DNA loops that comprise the three dimensional (3D) structure of the human genome and regulate gene expression in human embryonic stem (ES) ...
