Human Genome More Variable Than Thought

November 25th 2006 23:11
Long stretches of human DNA known as copy-number variants (CNVs) vary significantly from human to human. These CNVs were largely ignored during the human genome project because they are hard to sequence. DNA is only 99.5% similar between people, instead of the 99.9% announced at the completion of the human genome project.

CNVs are linked to susceptibility to various diseases and syndromes and so are attracting interest among geneticists.
