Clinical Update:
Complete Sequence of the Human Genome Published
| |
| |
This month in Science,1 the most complete sequence of the human genome ever was published by the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium funded by the National Institute of Health’s Intramural Research Program of the National Human Genome Research Institute. They presented a complete 3.055 billion base-pair sequence, which included gapless assemblies for all chromosomes except Y. The previous reference genome only covered euchromatic, leaving some heterochromatic regions incomplete.
The newly published sequence includes 200 million more base pairs and 1956 gene predictions, of which 99 could be protein coding. Completing the sequence is vital to unlocking how our genome affects our health and understanding how we are predisposed to disease.

Enroll your Practice in GH-101! | |
Genetics Institute of America is actively recruiting practices to join our study, GH-101! The objective of this study is to take an integrative approach to the fields of pharmacogenomics, cancer genomics, mRNA microarrays and nutrigenomics by identifying DNA and RNA variants in persons with chronic disease. We are looking for Physicians and Physician Groups that currently treat patients with a chronic disease including: cancer, cardiac conditions, diabetes, kidney disease, PTSD. Getting your practice involved is easy and not only gets patients the individualized health information they need but allows your practice to be on the cutting edge of genetic research. Click "Enroll Now" for more information about this study and enrolling your practice.
