The new reference dataset includes 64 assembled genomes representing 25 different human populations from around the globe. (Getty Images via Univ. of Washington) Twenty years after the first human genome sequence was published, an international research team has kicked the sequencing game to the next level with a set of 64 reference genomes that reflect much higher resolution and more genetic diversity. Since the Human Genome Project completed the first draft of its reference genome, decoding the human genetic code has been transformed from a multibillion-dollar endeavor into a relatively ine...

Getty Images The new reference dataset includes 64 assembled genomes representing 25 different human populations from across the globe. Exactly 20 years after the successful completion of the Human Genome Project, an international group of researchers, the Human Genome Structural Variation Consortium, has now sequenced 64 human genomes at high resolution. This reference data includes individuals from all over the world to better capture the genetic diversity of the human species. Among other applications, the work enables population-specific studies on genetic predispositions to human disease...

Researchers discover new mammal reference genome that helps ID genetic variants for human health ANI | Updated: Dec 28, 2020 14:46 IST Washington [US], December 28 (ANI): The rhesus macaque is the most widely studied nonhuman primate in biomedical research. A genome sequencing project for this species, led by a team of researchers has created a new framework for the study of this important primate. Research published in the journal Science has established a new reference genome assembly and identified more than 85 million genetic variants in the rhesus ma...

 E-Mail The rhesus macaque is the most widely studied nonhuman primate in biomedical research. A genome sequencing project for this species, led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Missouri and the University of Washington, has created a new framework for study of this important primate. Research published in the journal Science has established a new reference genome assembly and identified more than 85 million genetic variants in the rhesus macaque, the largest database of genetic variation for any one nonhuman primate species to date. "This is a major step forw...
