The 110 DCS blocks identified on the human genome are grouped according to their composition in terms of Tetraodon chromosomes, thus delineating 12 ancestral chromosomes containing 90 DCS blocks.

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 ...

The genetic information in an organism is called its genome. The Human Genome Project, or HGP for short, was started at the end of the last century. It was very ambitious and had several aims ...
