The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ancestry, according to a study published today in Nature Communications.

The effort to produce a map of the human genetic code turned into a race three years ago when Celera Genomics Corp. of Rockville announced it could do the job faster and more cheaply than an ...

At the turn of the century, the biomedical research community saw a landmark global effort, when scientists built a reference human genome sequence to better understand the genes underlying health and ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A California company predicts it will soon be able to sequence an entire human gene map in four minutes, for just $1,000. Sign up here. Pacific Biosciences says its new ...

The authors of the study pictured in the facilities housing MareNostrum5, the supercomputer which was critical for processing the vast amounts of data generated by the study. Human gene maps contain ...
