Toward the end of the 20th century, scientists developed tools that made it possible to read genomes, culminating in the release of the first draft of the human genome in 2003. This era of genomics ...

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity.

The first human genome was completed in April 2003, but it left behind some unknown gaps, including swathes of the Y chromosome. The chromosome’s repetition made it a challenge to reconstruct.

HERVs, or human endogenous retroviruses, make up around 8% of the human genome, left behind as a result of infections that humanity’s primate ancestors suffered millions of years ago. They became part ...
