Scientists determined the complete sequence of a human chromosome – Tech Explorist
The first end-to-end (‘telomere-to-telomere’) completely gapless DNA sequence of a human chromosome is a major milestone for genomics research.
The current human reference genome is the most precise and complete vertebrate genome ever produced. However, no one chromosome has been finished end to end, and hundreds of unresolved gaps persist.
Now, for the first time, scientists have determined the complete sequence of a human chromosome from one end to the other (‘telomere to telomere’) with no gaps and an unprecedented level of accuracy. Scientists made it possible by sequencing technologies that enable “ultra-long reads,” such as the n…
