Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

A new Yale-led study provides one of the most detailed and comprehensive analyses to date of genetic variation in human ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

Researchers have put together the most complete view yet of the genetic variation in humans, presented in two studies in the journal Nature. In a social media landscape shaped by hashtags, algorithms, ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Ancient encounters between humans and the mysterious Denisovans are still shaping people today. By analyzing genomes from populations across the Pacific, researchers uncovered evidence that the ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Ancestry and lifestyle choices of parents may affect the rate and type of new genetic changes that arise in their children, new research has found. The study sheds light on factors that influence the ...
