SAN DIEGO --Just a few months after the completion of the Human Genome Project, another genetic map is on the horizon. It's called a haplotype map. That's not a word in most people's vocabulary, but ...

Early navigators who ventured into the vast unknown were sometimes rewarded with landfall on warm, tropical islands. Modern-day explorers charting diversity in the genetic code have found a few hot ...

On this map, the distribution of sickle-cell anemia haplotypes among nations with high prevalence of the disease are shown. Five distinct beta-globin haplotypes (indicated by colors) are found in ...

An international consortium of government, academic, and commercial researchers announced Tuesday that it was beginning a three-year, $100-million effort to build the next-generation map of the human ...

Cambridge, MA, Wed., Oct. 26, 2005 – In several papers published this week in Nature, Nature Genetics, PLoS Biology and Genome Research, Broad researchers and an international set of collaborators ...

In two companion papers this week, researchers from the Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research report important findings that set the stage for the next steps in the Human Genome ...

If we depend on a single central haplotype map for broadly defined population groups such as Caucasians, Asians or Africans, the robustness of the approach will crucially depend on how comparable the ...
