Discover how hidden complexities of the human genome are revealed by scientists from The Jackson Laboratory. Technological advancements are now allowing us to assemble continuous genomes with ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

A gene can vanish, and life can go on. That is one of the most striking lessons from a sweeping new analysis of 173,303 ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Recent technological advances have facilitated the assembly of telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genomes. The current T2T CHM13 showcases the complete architecture of the human genome, yet its use in ...

Differences among the DNA of seven ape species—including humans—are greater than originally thought, according to an international team led by researchers at Penn State, the National Human Genome ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at ...
