Twenty years ago, a global team of scientists completed what was once thought to be an impossible task: They sequenced the human genome, creating a map of the genetic instructions tucked inside ...

An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using complete sequences from 65 individuals across diverse ancestries. The study, ...

A recent study has shown that i-motifs are not rare or unstable. Researchers from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research identified over 50,000 i-motifs scattered throughout the human genome.

This map took more than three years to create, but technology and methodological improvements could speed up the process - as they did for genome sequencing throughout the late 20th century ...

An international team of researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, ...

The work, led by the international Human Pangenome Reference Consortium of scientists funded by the U.S. government's National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), essentially was a reboot of ...

Having one map of a single genome, which the 90s-era project produced, does not adequately represent the breadth of the human population.

It has been 20 years since scientists put together the first rough draft of the human genome, the three billion genetic letters of DNA tightly wound inside most of our cells. Today, scientists are ...

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 ...
