On May 27, a preprint titled The complete sequence of the human genome was posted in the online repository bioRxiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this preprint, scientists from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, an international collaboration of around 30 institutions, reported the most complete sequencing of the human genome until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have, in the process, discovered over a hundred new genes that code for proteins. The total size of the genome they have sequenced is close to 3.05 billion base pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This adds 200 million base pairs to the last draft of the human genome that was published in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results come with the caveat that about 0.3% may still have errors, and that among the sex chromosomes, only the X chromosome has been sequenced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
