Researchers have released a new high-quality collection of reference human genome sequences that captures substantially more diversity from different human populations than what was previously ...

An international consortium of scientists has launched a new effort to create a reference genome that captures the genetic diversity of all the peoples of the world. The researchers describe the ...

The first truly complete sequence of a human genome, covering each chromosome from end to end with no gaps and unprecedented accuracy, is now accessible through the UCSC Genome Browser and is ...

An international team of collaborating scientists has published details of their work to sequence 64 full human genomes, representing 25 different human populations from across the globe. The ...

The Japanese now have their own reference genome thanks to researchers at Tohoku University who completed and released the first Japanese reference genome (JG1). Their study was published in the ...

The human reference genome is a DNA blueprint used as a standard for comparison in basic research and clinical settings. Despite improvements in accuracy and completeness that have been made over the ...

UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome—a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic information of 47 ...

An international scientific team including more than 40 authors from seven different countries, led by a researcher at the University of Malaga Juan Pascual Anaya, has managed to sequence the first ...

It took almost twice as long to finish the last 8% of the human genome as it did to sequence the first 92%. New laboratory and computational technologies finally enabled Miga and her colleagues to ...
