Preprocessing of the random promoter–enhancer pairs The STARR-seq enhancer sequences derived from RNA were mapped to corresponding promoter–enhancer pairs in the input DNA by exact matches of the first 20 bases of the 150-base-long enhancer sequences. Duplicate sequences were removed as described...
sequence of 3 billion base pairs was announced in draft form in 2000 and the complete sequence in 2003. It was thought initially that thehuman genomewould consist of approximately 100000 different coding genes. As the HGP neared completion, it emerged that the actual number would be closer to ...
diploid assemblies from a cohort of genetically diverse individuals1. These assemblies cover more than 99% of the expected sequence in each genome and are more than 99% accurate at the structural and base pair levels. Based on alignments of the ...
The human genome represents one of the most complex genomes ever known. Initial estimations over several decades suggested that the human chromosomes were composed of around 100,000 genes within the 3.2 billion base pairs of the DNA stretch. However, our understanding of this has greatly improved ...
The most logical way to compare two genomes is to find the parts that match nearly perfectly. When that is done, we find that 2.4 billion of the base pairs of the human genome line up “nearly” perfectly with 2.4 billion of the base pairs of the chimp genome. As the 2005 paper o...

A systematic analysis of RNA:DNA hybrids in human cells reveals their presence throughout the genome, including in the ribosomal DNA repeat unit, cumulatively representing millions of base pairs of DNA. The results help to resolve a number of conflicting theories about the formation of RNA:DNA hy...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) drives almost all cervical cancers and up to 70% of head and neck cancers. Frequent integration into the host genome occurs predominantly in tumorigenic types of HPV. We hypothesize that changes in chromatin state at the l
A draft human pangenome reference Article Open access 10 May 2023 Main Structural variants (SVs), including deletions, insertions, duplications and inversions, account for most varying base pairs (bp) among individual human genomes1. Numerous studies have implicated SVs in human health with associated...
