Though today's announcement represents a finish line for the human genome map it is really just the beginning of a new frontier in medicine. Now scientists can begin the really hard part which is ...

It continues 25 years of research at deCODE genetics into how new diversity is generated in the human genome, and its relationship to health and disease. The new map, appearing today in the online ...

The first time was in 2000, when Bill Clinton announced the “first survey of the entire human genome” at a White House ceremony, calling it “the most important and most wondrous map ever p ...

The immediate obstacle stems from a lack of progress on the so-called linkage map of the genome. The term refers to a list that links human traits and their associated genes to locations on the human ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of ...

(Michael Hogue / Michael Hogue) 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 ...

Until now, geneticists have used a single human genome, largely based on one individual, as a standard reference map for the detection of genetic changes that cause disease. This has likely missed ...

We then generate a genome-wide ancestral recombination graph including human and archaic hominin genomes. From this, we generate a map within human genomes of archaic ancestry and of genomic ...

By 2003, the Human Genome Project aims to map the entire human genome to almost 100% accuracy. The private company that has also mapped the genome, Celera Genomics, already claims to have mapped ...
