This will probably only be of interest to population genetics afficianados, but I just noticed that the HapMap project has made its phase 3 data available through its browser (the data were previously ...

The new repository will house genetic-research samples, including those collected for the International HapMap Project.The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has awarded a $3.1 million ...

The second phase of the International HapMap Project, an effort to identify and catalog genetic similarities and differences among populations around the world, has been completed. Information ...

Investigators from six countries have completed the second phase of the International HapMap Project, an effort to identify and catalog genetic similarities and differences among populations around ...

Looking for a quicker way to identify genes that cause disease, researchers are beginning a $100 million effort to identify blocks of DNA that contain common variations in the human genetic structure, ...

Tracking down genes involved in health and disease and the response of patients to therapies is a principal goal of contemporary biomedical research. In the December 18 issue of Nature, the ...

The Haplotype Mapping Project (HapMap) has created a significant resource for human genetic studies by mapping the patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the human genome, and by creating a ...

Institute will establish a sample repository for populations next in line to be studied. The Coriell Institute for Medical Research was awarded a $3.1 million contract from the NHGRI to establish a ...

The Harvard-affiliated Whitehead Center for Genome Research has started work with 14 other research groups worldwide to map variant genes thought to underlie common diseases like diabetes, asthma and ...

The human haplotype map (HapMap) has come a long way from its first public appearance in 2003. Phase 1 of the project saw a little over 1 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped in ...

An ambitious plan to sequence and compare the genomes of 1,000 people promises to provide scientists with the most detailed picture yet of human genetic variation. The 1000 Genomes Project, announced ...

An international project to map common patterns of genetic variation in humans has been launched, and the University of Oxford is the only UK university chosen to be involved. The HapMap project is an ...
