New Map Of Genomic Variations Will Aid Diagnosis And Studies Of Gene Disorders

Genetics researchers have unveiled a powerful new resource for scientists and health providers studying human illnesses -- a reference standard of deletions and duplications of DNA found in the human genome. Drawn from over 2,000 healthy persons, the study provides one of the deepest and broadest sets of copy number variations available to date, along with a new research tool for diagnosing and identifying genetic problems in patients.
