Scientists have released a draft of the first human pangenome -- a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic material of 47 individuals from different ancestral backgrounds to allow ...

Researchers published a new, more inclusive collection of reference human genome sequences in a landmark development. The new pangenome reference includes genome sequences of 47 people from across the ...

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, ...

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...
