Unlike a linear reference genome, a graph genome allows a single region of the genome to take on a diverse set of sequences. For regions with high genetic diversity, a graph genome can better capture ...

A groundbreaking DNA study reveals how genetic mutations pass through generations, offering new insights into disease and ...

The genetic information in an organism is called its genome. The Human Genome Project, or HGP for short, was started at the end of the last century. It was very ambitious and had several aims ...

David Markowitz, a scientist who helped coordinate the project, said the data, published April 9 in the journal Nature marks “a watershed moment for neuroscience, comparable to the Human Genome ...

Thanks to the Human Genome Project, 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 ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has ...

As the Human Genome Project revved up, accelerating the pace of discovery in biology, technical advances increased the speed with which we can determine the three-dimensional structures of ...
