Bookmark or Share- Completing the human genome - Science | AAASA fully sequenced human genome was announced more than 20 years ago. However, owing to technological limitations, some genomic regions remained unresolved. Here, Science and other journals present research by the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, reporting on the endeavor to complete a comprehensive human reference genome.
- The complete sequence of a human genome | Science - AAASAddressing the remaining 8% of the genome, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium presents a complete 3.055 billion–base pair sequence of a human genome, T2T-CHM13, that includes gapless assemblies for all chromosomes except Y, corrects errors in the prior references, and introduces nearly 200 million base pairs of sequence containing 1956 ...
- Complicated legacies: The human genome at 20 | Science - AAASSharing data can save lives. The “Bermuda Principles” for public data disclosure are a fundamental legacy of producing the first human reference DNA sequence during the Human Genome Project (HGP) . Since the 1990s, these principles have become a touchstone for open science.
- U.S. attitudes on human genome editing | Science - AAASThe purpose of human genome editing can be therapeutic (to treat or prevent disease) or focused on enhancement (purposes unrelated to treating or preventing disease). As for heritability, edits to the human genome can be to somatic (nonreproductive) cells, or to heritable germline cells.
- The Human Genome | Science - AAASBy comparing the human genome with expressed sequence tags and with other genomic and protein data, researchers have figured out that human genes do more work than those in other organisms do—and therein may lie the difference between us and them.
