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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Dr. Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, the government agency that funded the work, likens the pangenome to a new kind of bodywork manual for automotive repair shops.

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.

My thoughts on human diversity were fired by the ongoing Women’s World Cup faraway in Australia and New Zealand. The teams taking part in this competition are drawn from all over the world and ...

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