The chromosome associated with male development, which is the last mysterious piece of the human genome, has been fully sequenced by a team of more than 100 researchers around the world, including ...

Landmarks of Human Variations BUILDING BLOCKS:© 2001 AAASAlong a 106-kilobase stretch of human chromosome 21, one study found that 18 haplotype blocks represent a segment of 147 SNPs from 20 ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

The first human genome was completed in April 2003, but it left behind some unknown gaps, including swathes of the Y chromosome. The chromosome’s repetition made it a challenge to reconstruct.

We have placed 7,600 cytogenetically defined landmarks on the draft sequence of the human genome to help with the characterization of genes altered by gross chromosomal aberrations that cause ...

The pangenome initiative These two new studies significantly increase our knowledge of human DNA, resolving what we have yet to discover about the smallest but most complex chromosome in our genome.

The schematic diagram shows human chromosome 21 with a small region outlined in red. The main rectangle below is a close-up of the outlined region, showing the binding locations of three ...

Scientists have finally filled the gaps in the sequence of the human Y chromosome, 20 years after the first draft of its DNA code was published. The work reveals a complete catalog of the genes in ...

Twenty years after the Human Genome Project was declared complete, the Y chromosome has been fully sequenced for the first time. Most people have 22 pairs of chromosomes plus two sex chromosomes ...

Together, more than 100 researchers from across the world have, for the first time, fully sequenced the male sex chromosome —the final mysterious piece of the human genome.

Scientists sequenced the largest known animal genome in a species of lungfish — ancient fish that breathe air.

The Human Genome Project led to many medical advances. Deciphering 3 million African genomes and using new tech to fill gaps could lead to even more.
