SEATTLE — Our understanding of the human genome has come a long way since the Human Genome Project was completed ... all the protein-coding genes in our DNA. However, a new study is revealing ...
For the Human Genome Project, researchers collected blood (female) or sperm (male) samples from a large number of donors. Only a few samples were processed as DNA resources, and the source names ...
The Human Pangenome Refence Sequencing Project seeks to gather genomic sequences from a diverse representation of human participants. Two new grants from the NIH will support project contributions by ...
Jef Akst was managing editor of The Scientist, where she started as an intern in 2009 after receiving a master’s degree from Indiana University in April 2009 studying the mating behavior of seahorses.
A 2015 report published by a private genomics testing company found that 2% of 345 hot dogs tested contained traces of human DNA. However, it was unclear whether that report was a peer-reviewed ...
"Recently, the nearly complete human genome has been sequenced, but many of its functional regions remain unknown. Our findings link DNA sequence information with its functional roles. We hope ...
