Scientists manage to sequence the genetic heritage of 2,500 people / Emol / HEIDELBERG.- More than 200 genes of human heredity can be eliminated. This is just one of the many discoveries made by an international research team for the study of the genetic heritage of over 2,500 people on four continents.
“We were surprised to discover that more than 200 genes that some people do not exist at all,” said one of the study directors Jan Korbel, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, West Germany .
The data shows that there are still hitherto unknown which regions of mutations or heredity may play a role in the formation of disease.
The team of several hundred researchers presented the results of the “Genome Project 1000″ in two studies in the journal “Nature”.
The human genome consists of 3,000 million components, which among other things make up genes one by one. However, there is no genetic inheritance like another. 1000 Genome Project said in 2008 to 2,500 sequencing human genomes and to make a catalog of human genetic variation.
It is intended to help scientists and as a database in biomedical research to find the causes of diseases and possible starting points for therapies. Researchers are terminated the project with the publication of two studies. The sequence data are available on the Internet.
“The database is enormously important for the scientific community. We hope now the data to scientists, researchers, seeking the genetic basis of diseases,” said Korbel.
On the European side participated the EMBL in Heidelberg and researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin.
The researchers collected and analyzed the genomes of 26 populations as the Yoruba of Nigeria, Han China, the Tamils of Sri Lanka, Peruvian and European subpopulations in the United Kingdom, Italy and Finland. Ethnicity
In 2012 published the first results after more than a thousand genomes sequenced. The two new studies not only have more genomes, but also include more details.
