Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has its shortcomings.
Chromosome Analysis Goes High Tech
Ricki Lewis | Oct 15, 1989 | 5 min read
Since the 1 920s, when researchers began to study chromosomes, the analysis of human chromosomes has presented a particularly tough technological challenge, simply because there are so many of them. When displayed under a light microscope. the strands of human genetic material tend to bunch together maddeningly, overlapping and intertwining like so much spaghetti. For these reasons, it wasn’t until 1956 that the correct number of 46 human chromosomes (23 pairs) was clearly demonstrated.

Large Fragment Cloning Products and Services Gone are the days when all you had to do to get out of grad school was identify and clone a new gene. Besides, with the information rapidly gathered through the Human Genome Project, there will soon no longer be a "new gene." Enormous projects such as sequencing entire genomes have created a need to play with bigger pieces of the puzzle, and a new universe of technologies adapted to large DNA fragments has appeared. Assignment of a new gene to a par
DNA, RNA Probes Help Investigators Narrow The Search For Genes
Holly Ahern | Nov 26, 1995 | 10+ min read
For Genes Author: Holly Ahern For a geneticist, pinpointing a mutation in a human gene that might be responsible for an inherited disease can be likened to the proverbial search for a needle in a haystack. While mo-lecular biologists sift through the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome in search of disease-causing genes, other scientists choose to approach the problem from the perspective of the mouse, a model system for mammal research. Because mice and humans are members of the same gr
