UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome—a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic information of 47 ...

The original reference human genome sequence, now almost two decades old, is limited in its representation of the diversity of the human species as it consists of genomes from only about 20 people, ...

The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium has announced the first draft of a human ‘pangenome’, which incorporates DNA data from 47 individuals. The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium has used ...

For decades, the Y chromosome — one of the two human sex chromosomes — has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...

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 ...
