African scientists say the world is missing vital medical insights by ignoring the continent's vast genetic diversity. Less than 2 percent of human genome sequencing worldwide comes from African ...

Genome maps provide an overall view of major variations in a person’s chromosomes, such as big insertions or deletions or the 180-degree flipping of sequences. Some of these structural variants are ...

Scientists have created the most detailed pistachio genome map, unlocking new possibilities for climate-resilient, nutritious ...

Washington state will soon have another tool to support long-term management for one of the highest priority invasive species, European green crab, thanks to additional state funding dedicated to ...

The human genome is no more than a string of four letters -- A, T, C, and G -- repeated over and over, more than three billion times. To the untrained eye, these letters, also known as nucleotides ...

Sequencing the human genome enables scientists to study human biology in a granular fashion and use that information to create treatments for things like cancer. Yet, of the human genomes studied so ...

Researchers developed an algorithm that maps human genetic diversity and ancestry to better understand population history.

With the flurry of media attention surrounding the race to sequence the genome, it often seems as if the myriad genome facts and news items floating around could fill up a couple of telephone books.

More than 20 years after the conclusion of the Human Genome Project, Macias and other researchers at Wang Lab in the ...

researchers have sequenced all 3.2 billion base pairs in the human genome. How did researchers complete this chromosome map years ahead of schedule? Initial Principles and Goals of the Human ...
