Human Genomes

The researchers looked at the non-human genomes first, seeking regions that had not changed much throughout evolutionary history.

Today, a single machine can decipher three human genomes in little more than a week.

Second, in practice, the predictive value of human genomes turns out to be low.

The advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies is enabling sequencing of human genomes at a significantly lower cost.

This major technological breakthrough allowed development of the whole-genome sequencing including analyses of individual human genomes.

The implications for human health are profound, as the mouse and human genomes are substantially the same.

The scientists based this ancestral census on a reading of modern human genomes.

During its two-year production phase, the project will read the equivalent of more than two human genomes every 24 hours.

These are places where individual human genomes routinely differ from one another by a single genetic "letter" .

And not only human genomes. Cross-species comparisons are enormously valuable.

It's a competition we're holding, the second X PRIZE, for the first team to sequence 100 human genomes in 10 days.

If we could have a big enough database of human genomes then you can see the interplay of genetics.

Genetics: Pulling strands of DNA through tiny holes, called nanopores, could dramatically speed up the sequencing of human genomes
