USC Researchers Zoom Into the Human Genome With Unprecedented Resolution
An international research team has identified key base pairs in the human genome that remained consistent over millions of years of mammalian evolution, which play a significant role in human disease, highlighting genetic regions where mutations are not tolerated in evolution, a breakthrough that could improve our understanding of disease origins and inform future genetic research.Base pairs of DNA that play a vital role in human disease have been identified by a researcher from USC.Dr. Steven Gazal, an assistant…
