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 ...

The new "pangenome" reference includes genome sequences of 47 people, with the researchers pursuing the goal of increasing that number to 350 by mid-2024. With each person carrying a paired set of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have released a draft of the first human pangenome -- a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic material of 47 individuals from different ancestral backgrounds to allow ...
