Tracing Humanity's Epic Journey: Genomic Sequencing Reveals Migration from North Asia to South America

In a groundbreaking study unveiled this week, scientists have traced the longest human migration in history-spanning from the vast landscapes of North Asia all the way to the diverse regions of South America-using cutting-edge genomic sequencing technologies. Published in Science by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the research sheds new light on the intricate journey of early humans as they traversed continents, r…

Single-chromosome sequencing and personalised medicine

Personalised medicine is best described as the tailoring of treatment based on an individual’s genomic sequence and biomarkers The difference between genomic sequence and biomarkers lies in the degree of expression of an individual gene, which is largely determined by small non-coding stretches of RNA called microRNA (miRNA), which are invariably derived from another gene, sometimes on another chromosome. The area that has generated the most int…
