Note how many genes a fruit fly can squeeze out of its relatively small genome. Scientists are intrigued by genetic variation among their own kind: human beings. As scientists make advances in the ...

For more basic information about genes, visit the Glossary. A rough draft of the human genome was completed in June 2000. Efforts are underway to complete a final draft of the human genome ...

The 5D memory crystal enables the creation of a lasting genomic repository for the potential restoration of complex organisms ...

A map of where recombination occurs throughout the human genome now includes both types of variation. A genealogical database has been compiled in Iceland over the course of 30 years. We focused ...

Protein-coding versus noncoding genes When deciding the number of genes in the human genome, Human Genome Project researchers initially counted protein-coding genes—regions of chromosomal DNA that are ...

It continues 25 years of research at deCODE genetics into how new diversity is generated in the human genome, and its relationship to health and disease. The new map, appearing today in the online ...
