The HapMap Project seeks to identify signposts on the human genome that will simplify the search for important genetic variants. In the latest phase - HapMap 3 - the researchers looked for variants ...

A central goal in the study of human biology is to understand the molecular basis of common disease, and variable sensitivity to drugs and other environmental factors. Adverse drug effects are a major ...

This will probably only be of interest to population genetics afficianados, but I just noticed that the HapMap project has made its phase 3 data available through its browser (the data were previously ...

Investigators from six countries have completed the second phase of the International HapMap Project, an effort to identify and catalog genetic similarities and differences among populations around ...

The second phase of the International HapMap Project, an effort to identify and catalog genetic similarities and differences among populations around the world, has been completed. Information ...

BETHESDA, Md., Fri., Dec. 10, 2004 – The International HapMap Consortium today announced that it is ending computer-based "click wrap" license restrictions on data generated by its effort to create a ...

An international project to map common patterns of genetic variation in humans has been launched, and the University of Oxford is the only UK university chosen to be involved. The HapMap project is an ...

Institute will establish a sample repository for populations next in line to be studied. The Coriell Institute for Medical Research was awarded a $3.1 million contract from the NHGRI to establish a ...

The Harvard-affiliated Whitehead Center for Genome Research has started work with 14 other research groups worldwide to map variant genes thought to underlie common diseases like diabetes, asthma and ...

Three years after its launch, Phase I of the International HapMap project (HapMap) is now complete (The International HapMap Consortium. Nature 437, 1299–1320; 2005). The information is already ...

An ambitious plan to sequence and compare the genomes of 1,000 people promises to provide scientists with the most detailed picture yet of human genetic variation. The 1000 Genomes Project, announced ...

Looking for a quicker way to identify genes that cause disease, researchers are beginning a $100 million effort to identify blocks of DNA that contain common variations in the human genetic structure, ...
