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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The original reference human genome sequence, now almost two decades old, is limited in its representation of the diversity of the human species as it consists of genomes from only about 20 people, ...

The release of the human reference genome in 2001 established a foundation to explore the evolution of the human genome and how it influences human health. A person’s genome has over 6 billion base ...

A University of Virginia School of Medicine scientist and collaborators have developed a much-needed new tool to increase the efficiency of genomic research and accelerate the development of new ways ...

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 ...
