Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

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 ...

The goal of the Human Genome Project is to advance biomedical research and develop personalized medicine by determining the relationships between the three billion chemical base pairs (the DNA ...

How did it become possible to sequence the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome? More than a quarter of a century’s worth of work from hundreds of scientists made such projects possible.
