Genome sequencing

The blueprint human genome is still mostly based on a single man from Buffalo, NY. National Human Genome Research InstituteInstead of looking at one single genome, researchers are mapping out "a network of possibilities.” The post The benchmark for human diversity is based on one man’s genome. A new tool could change that. appeared first on Popular Science.

CRISPR-Cas9’s molecular scissors—thus far limited to the lab bench—may soon find themselves at work directly in the human body.

Human Genome Project - Genome Mapping, DNA Sequencing, Genomics: The International HapMap Project, genomics studies, the Entrez Genome database, and the BLAST software tool allow the study of genetic similarity and divergence among humans and between species. The influence of the genome on health has led to personalized medicine. CODIS and comparative DNA sequence analyses have revolutionized the fields of forensics and anthropology, respectively.

Scientists say they have finally sequenced the full human genome. This includes a big portion of the missing 8 percent from the first “draft” of the genome.

Having a gene for a rare disease might not give you symptoms. But it could beef up your medical bills.

Advances in technology have enabled researchers to sequence the large regions of repetitive DNA that eluded the Human Genome Project.
