Scientists Have Finally Sequenced the Complete Human Genome – And Revealed New Genetic Secrets - SciTechDaily

Repetitive DNA sequences around centromere show history of human genetic variation. When scientists announced the complete sequence of the human genome in 2003, they were fudging a bit. In fact, nearly 20 years later, about 8% of the genome had never been ful…

Sequencing the last 8% of the human genome has taken 20 years and the invention of new techniques for reading long sequences of the genetic code, which consists of the nucleotides C, T, G and A. The … [+14333 chars]
