When the Human Genome Project launched in 1990, it was hailed as one of the greatest scientific endeavors of all time. The 13-year project identified about 20,000 genes and gave researchers a ...

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The new “pangenome” incorporates the DNA of 47 individuals from every ...

Added diversity is coming, human geneticist Karen Miga of the University of California, Santa Cruz said during a May 9 news conference. The consortium plans to complete a total of 350 genomes ...

Clearest snapshot of human genomic diversity Date: May 10, 2023 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: The human reference genome has always been a remarkable but flawed tool.

This week, find out how a new “pangenome” better captures the richness of human diversity, how NASA studies sleep issues for astronauts, how the Voyager space probes are kept operating, how ...

Human diversity research also includes the challenge of studying the complex interplay of genes and the environment, such as diet and education, among different populations.

But they’ve long known that this template for comparison, or “reference genome,” has serious limits because it doesn’t reflect the spectrum of human diversity.

Humans A controversial book about human diversity shows how biology unites us. From race and IQ to sex and gender, Herman Pontzer's new book Adaptable is an ambitious and enjoyable exploration of ...

Another example of human resource diversity is a staff composed of a well-balanced combination of race and ethnicity among employees and management.
