An international research consortium has announced the 1000 Genomes Project, an effort that will involve sequencing the genomes of at least a thousand people to create the most detailed and medically ...

The 1000 Genomes Project, an international public-private consortium, has published the most comprehensive map of human genetic differences, estimated to contain approximately 95 percent of the ...

The 1000 Genomes Project is designed to fill that gap, which we anticipate will contain many important variants that are relevant to human health and disease," said David Altshuler, M.D., Ph.D ...

The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium has created the world’s largest catalog of genomic differences among humans. The catalog encompasses the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations ...

The goal of the 1000 Genomes Project is to provide in-depth information on variation in human genome sequences. In the pilot phase reported here, different strategies for genome-wide sequencing ...

Today in the journal Nature, the 1000 Genomes Project, an international public-private consortium, published the most comprehensive map of human genetic differences, called variations, estimated ...

The 1000 Genomes Project was launched as one of the largest distributed data collection and analysis projects ever undertaken in biology. In addition to the primary scientific goals of creating ...

The 1000 Genomes Project builds upon the International HapMap Project, which produced a comprehensive catalog of human genetic variation ...

But by mapping variations in the other 1 percent, the 1,000 Genomes Project may help reveal the genetic underpinnings of some disease. "Once you have those elements fingered, then you can figure ...

The effort is called the 1000 Genomes Project and already it claims to have found 16 million previously unknown variations in human DNA, about 95 percent of all variations in our species.
