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.

NIH’s SMaHT Network will chart trillions of somatic mutations to reveal how our DNA changes over a lifetime. In a nutshell ...

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 ...

Recently, attention has focused on the use of whole-genome linkage disequilibrium (LD) studies to map common disease genes. Such studies would employ a dense map of single nucleotide polymorphisms ...

Who really won the race to decode the human genome? Inside the cut-throat competition that pushed forward the decoding of the ...

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 ...

For example, which mutations in the human genome are even functional, in that they have a measurable effect on our behavior. The study offers a little more light too on Denisovans as a species.

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 ...

The map could be helpful in improving our understanding of functional genetic variation in the human genome. Study: A genomic mutational constraint map using variation in 76,156 human genomes ...

Two decades ago, the Human Genome Project completed their mission—sequence the first full human genome. Map out all of the genes we can, and get the full set ready for use in learning more about ...
