Researchers Have Fully Sequenced A Chromosome For The First Time – IFLScience
Since the first complete characterization of the human genome in 2003, understanding of our DNA and how it varies between each person has become magnitudes
Since the first complete characterization of the human genome in 2003, understanding of our DNA and how it varies between each person has become magnitudes better. We use the reference genome to look for disease variants, discover gene functions, and act as a scaffold to sequence other large pieces of DNA mapping out the location of our genes within the chromosomes is vital to genetics. So it may surprise you to know that our current reference has a lot of gaps in it.
That is, until now. In a…
