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

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

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.

The human genome was found to contain 20,000 protein-coding genes, which accounts for just 2% of our DNA. The rest of was written off as junk – but it plays a vital role.

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 ...
