Human Genome Variations That are Never-Before-Seen, Uncovered for First Time

A new genome sequencing technology has helped uncover thousands of never-before-seen genetic variants in the human genome. These discoveries close many human genome mapping gaps that have long resisted sequencing. The technique, called single-molecule, real-time DNA sequencing (SMRT), may now make it possible for researchers to identify potential genetic mutations behind many conditions whose genetic causes have long eluded scientists, said Evan Eichler, professor ...
