The full genome will allow scientists to analyze how DNA differs between people and whether these genetic variations play a role in disease.
In a paper published Thursday in the journal Science, a massive collaboration of researchers from government, academic and private organizations, called the Telomere-to-Telomere consortium, produced the first full,
After more than 20 years, researchers have finally decoded the final 8% of the entire set of human DNA.
Researchers say the finished project will give humanity a greater understanding of our evolution and biology, while also opening the door to new medical discoveries
Scientists say they have finally assembled the full genetic blueprint for human life, adding the missing pieces to a puzzle nearly completed two decades ago
