webs.iiitd.edu.in - Fragile sites are specific chromosomal region that exhibit an increased frequency of chromosdomal breakge when cells are exposed to replicative stress. Since from the discovery of chromosomal fragile sites/regions (CFS), several line of evidence...

www.science.org - The completed regions include all centromeric satellite arrays, recent segmental duplications, and the short arms of all five acrocentric chromosomes, unlocking these complex regions of the genome to variational and functional studies.

There are only 10,000 loops instead of the predicted millions, and they form on/off switches in DNA.

www.science.org - Telomere-to-telomere consortium We have sequenced the CHM13hTERT human cell line with a number of technologies. Human genomic DNA was extracted from the cultured cell line. As the DNA is native, modified bases will be preserved. The data includes...

A fascinating new study published in Science (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aef8874?) introduces a computational method called TRACE, which allows scientists to search modern human genomes for genetic traces of ancient populations that...

www.dkfz.de - TelomereHunter is a tool for estimating telomere content from human whole-genome sequencing data. It is designed to take BAM files from a tumor and a matching control sample as input. However, it is also possible to run TelomereHunter with one input...

Scientists have reconstructed the genome of an ancient human who lived nearly 5,700 years ago in Southern Denmark from the birch pitch- an ancient tar-like substance.

In the vast and complex world of genetics, our chromosomes are like carefully arranged bookshelves — each holding critical information that defines who we are. But what happens when those books are shuffled, inverted, or swapped? The answer lies in...

Diploid Assembly of a Puerto Rican Female Adds a Rich Resource to Population-Specific Reference Genomes

Cost-effective whole human genome sequencing has revolutionized the landscape of genetic research and personalized medicine by making comprehensive genetic analysis accessible to a wider population. Through advancements in sequencing technologies,...
