Genomes from 240 mammal species explain human disease risks

A major international research project, jointly led by Prof Kerstin Lindblad-Toh at Uppsala University and Broad Institute has surveyed and analysed the genomes of 240 different mammals. The results, now published in 11 articles in the journal Science, show how the genomes of humans and other mammals have developed over the course of evolution.

New improved dog reference genome will aid a new generation of investigation

Researchers at Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have used new methods for DNA sequencing and annotation to build a new, and more complete, dog reference genome. This tool will serve as the foundation for a new era of research, helping scientists to better understand the link between DNA and disease, in dogs and in their human friends.

Arvsmassa från 240 däggdjur förklarar sjukdomsrisker hos människor

Arvsmassan hos 240 olika däggdjur har kartlagts och analyserats. Resultaten, som nu publiceras i 11 artiklar i tidskriften Science, visar hur arvsmassan hos människan och andra däggdjur har utvecklats under evolutionen. Forskningen visar vilka regioner som har viktiga funktioner hos däggdjur, vilka mutationer som leder till vissa egenskaper, samt vilka mutationer som kan orsaka sjukdom.
