MENLO PARK, Calif., July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB), a leading developer of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing solutions, today announced it has joined the 1000 Genomes Long Read Sequencing Project, which will involve contributing long-read transcriptome data…

EMBL-EBI Maps Human Genome Variation With Long-Read Sequencing

New analyses of the 1000 Genomes Project data, using long-read sequencing, expanded a reference map of structural genome variations by more than twentyfold, revealing insights into how “jumping genes” facilitate genetic variation.

Beyond 1000 genomes: going deeper and wider

Summary The 1000 Genomes Project (2007–2015) collected DNA samples from diverse human populations across five continents to analyse genetic variation from humans across the globe. Using advanced sequencing technologies, scientists have now mapped genomic variation in over 1,000 individuals from the project, offering new insights into human biology. In a complementary study, researchers assembled nearly complete genome sequences for 65 individu…
