Scientists have generated the most comprehensive map of the structural variation that exists among normal, healthy humans, according to a study published online today in Nature. Understanding normal ...

Following the sequencing of the human genome in 2001, genetic variation between people was largely pinned on simple sequence differences known as single-nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs. This led to ...

When the Human Genome Project launched in 1990, it was hailed as one of the greatest scientific endeavors of all time. The 13-year project identified about 20,000 genes and gave researchers a ...

Scientists have released the first draft of the human pangenome reference, ... Structural variations in the genes for C4A and C4B that result from a process called gene conversion have been ...

The more genomes it contains, the more variation it can account for, just like with these three homophonous names. ... The Human Genome Project sourced genetic material from about 20 people, ...

A sequence for the human genome was first published in 2001, ... “What we want to achieve is that every variation can be analysed now, ...

Scientists on Wednesday unveiled a new accounting of the human genome that improves on its predecessor by including a rich diversity of people to better reflect the global population - a boost to ...
