In the Genome
The sequencing of the human genome has revealed our complete complement of genetic material. What is in the genome, what does it do, and how does it differ between individuals ?

Researchers have catalogued millions of genetic differences between 17 strains of mice. The result is a 'genetic blueprint' of variation in the mouse genome that will help drive forward our understanding of human biology. 15/09/11 From Focus on genes
You can't use this map to find out where you're going, but it does tell us a lot about where we came from: it's the world's most advanced human genetic map, as constructed by a consortium of scientists. 21/07/11 From Focus on genes
A new nationwide project aiming to improve the care and diagnosis of developmental disorders and understand their relation to the human genome is announced today. 22/03/11 From Focus on genes
Small genetic differences between individuals help explain why some people are at higher risk than others for developing illnesses such as diabetes or cancer. This week, the 1000 Genomes Project, an international public-private consortium, published the most comprehensive map of these genetic variations, estimated to contain approximately 95 per cent of the genetic
variation of any person on Earth. 28/10/10 From Focus on genes
