It continues 25 years of research at deCODE genetics into how new diversity is generated in the human genome, and its relationship to health and disease. The new map, appearing today in the online ...

Researchers have finally deciphered a complete human genetic instruction ... repetitive parts of the genome (SN: 2/26/15). Overlaying the epigenetic maps on the reference allowed researchers ...

One goal of the project was to accurately sequence the 3 billion nucleotide base pairs in the human genome. A second goal was to map and identify all of the human genes present in the DNA sequence.

The resulting linkage disequilibrium map of the human genome would lay a foundation for future genotype–phenotype exploration 10. Studies of complex phenotypic variation will involve thousands ...
