New human genome projects offer large-scale picture of genetic difference
Friday, May 2, 2008 - 10:28
in Biology & Nature
A nationwide consortium led by the University of Washington in Seattle has completed the first sequence-based map of structural variations in the human genome, giving scientists an overall picture of the large-scale differences in DNA between individuals. The project gives researchers a guide for further research into these structural differences, which are believed to play an important role in human health and disease...
