The common marmoset is a small monkey from South America. To study complex diseases like Alzheimer’s, scientists and clinicians analyze how genes change and malfunction in other species. Marmosets, a ...

"Our complete reconstruction of the genetic makeup of the first reference material genome was the culmination of years of advances in technologies and analysis methods," said NIST scientist and ...

Differences among the DNA of seven ape species—including humans—are greater than originally thought, according to an international team led by researchers at Penn State, the National Human Genome ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

Discover how hidden complexities of the human genome are revealed by scientists from The Jackson Laboratory. Technological advancements are now allowing us to assemble continuous genomes with ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

The genomic revolution that began at the end of the 20 th century has given researchers increasingly detailed insights into the organization of DNA and the role of genes in diseases. However, due to ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

WANT to know the history of your ancestors? Look no further than your genome. It seems every one of us carries in our genes a million-year record of past human population size. Analysing the ways that ...
