Baylor College of Medicine: Reference Genome Comparison Finds Exome Variant Discrepancies in 206 Gene
HOUSTON, Texas, June 15 (TNSJou) -- The Baylor College of Medicine issued the following news:
In the two decades since the Human Genome Project mapped the entire human genome, improvements in technology have helped in developing updated reference genomes used for sequencing. But while the GRCh38 (hg38) human reference genome was released more than seven years ago, the older GRCh37 (hg19) reference remains widely used by most research and clinical laboratories.
