Since its initial release in 2000, the human reference genome has covered only euchromatic fraction of genome, leaving important heterochromatic regions unfinished. Addressing remaining 8% Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium presents a complete 3.055 billion–base pair sequence T2T-CHM13, that includes gapless assemblies for all chromosomes except Y, corrects errors prior references, and introduces nearly 200 million base pairs containing 1956 gene predictions, 99 which are predicted to be...

The human reference genome assembly plays a central role in nearly all aspects of today's basic and clinical research. GRCh38 is the first coordinate-changing update since 2009; it reflects resolution roughly 1000 issues encompasses modifications ranging from thousands single base changes to megabase-scale path reorganizations, gap closures, localization previously orphaned sequences. We developed new approach sequence generation for targeted updates used data mapping technologies haplotype...
Abstract ClinVar is a freely available, public archive of human genetic variants and interpretations their relationships to diseases other conditions, maintained at the National Institutes Health (NIH). Submitted are aggregated made available on website (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/), as downloadable files via FTP through programmatic tools such NCBI’s E-utilities. The default view website, Variation page, was recently redesigned. new layout includes several sections that make it...
After two decades of improvements, the current human reference genome (GRCh38) is most accurate and complete vertebrate ever produced. However, no single chromosome has been finished end to end, hundreds unresolved gaps persist1,2. Here we present a assembly that surpasses continuity GRCh382, along with gapless, telomere-to-telomere chromosome. This was enabled by high-coverage, ultra-long-read nanopore sequencing hydatidiform mole CHM13 genome, combined complementary technologies for...
Abstract Here the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium presents a first draft of human pangenome reference. The contains 47 phased, diploid assemblies from cohort genetically diverse individuals 1 . These cover more than 99% expected sequence in each genome and are accurate at structural base pair levels. Based on alignments assemblies, we generate that captures known variants haplotypes reveals new alleles structurally complex loci. We also add 119 million pairs euchromatic polymorphic...

A spotlight on great ape genomes Most nonhuman primate generated to date have been “humanized” owing their many gaps and the reliance guidance by reference human genome. To remove this humanizing effect, Kronenberg et al. assembled long-read of a chimpanzee, an orangutan, two humans compared them with previously gorilla This analysis recognized genomic structural variation specific particular lineages. Comparisons between chimpanzee cerebral organoids showed down-regulation expression genes...

Abstract Short-read sequencing has enabled the de novo assembly of several individual human genomes, but with inherent limitations in characterizing repeat elements. Here we sequence a Chinese HX1 by single-molecule real-time (SMRT) long-read sequencing, construct physical map NanoChannel arrays and generate 2.93 Gb (contig N50: 8.3 Mb, scaffold 22.0 including 39.3 Mb N-bases), together 206 alternative haplotypes. The fully or partially fills 274 (28.4%) N-gaps reference genome GRCh38....
Abstract The importance of the Gallus gallus (chicken) as a model organism and agricultural animal merits continuation sequence assembly improvement efforts. We present new version chicken genome (Gallus_gallus-5.0; GCA_000002315.3), built from combined long single molecule sequencing technology, finished BACs, improved physical maps. In overall assembled bases, we see gain 183 Mb, including 16.4 Mb in placed chromosomes with corresponding percentage intact repeat elements characterized. Of...
Abstract In 2001, Celera Genomics and the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium published their initial drafts of human genome, which revolutionized field genomics. While these updates that followed effectively covered euchromatic fraction heterochromatin many other complex regions were left unfinished or erroneous.

Abstract The current human reference genome, GRCh38, represents over 20 years of effort to generate a high-quality assembly, which has benefitted society 1,2 . However, it still many gaps and errors, does not represent biological genome as is blend multiple individuals 3,4 Recently, telomere-to-telomere reference, CHM13, was generated with the latest long-read technologies, but derived from hydatidiform mole cell line nearly homozygous 5 To address these limitations, Human Pangenome...
