昨日出版的Nature杂志公布了第三个人类基因组单体型图，这一计划的目标是为最新一轮以疾病关联为重点的全基因组研究提供一个资源。这一成果对来自11个全球人群的1184个个体进行了基因组变异筛查，鉴定了人类基因组核苷酸多态性（SNPs）和拷贝数多态性 ...

The Haplotype Genetic Map (HapMap) is an invaluable resource to the cardiovascular researcher, enabling a decrease in cost and an increase in the efficiency and speed of discoveries in the laboratory.

The International HapMap Project has detailed information on genetic variation across the genome. 1 An important use of these data is to help identify genetic determinants of disease. HapMap ...

In the latest phase -- HapMap 3 -- the researchers looked for variants across the genome in 1184 samples from 11 populations. They chose the large sample set and the wide range of populations to ...

"It's not yet to the moon or to another planet, but it is a major milestone." The "HapMap," so-called because it details DNA variations known as haplotypes, will allow scientists to study every ...

BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 18, 2003 – The International HapMap Consortium today published a paper that sets forth the scientific rationale and strategy behind its effort to create a map of human ...

Called the International HapMap Project, this new venture is aimed at speeding the discovery of genes related to common illnesses such as asthma, cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Washington ...

The HapMap project is supported by a broad range of agencies – both governmental and private – in the participating countries, and includes investigators from more than 70 research, education ...

Using the information in the HapMap, researchers are able to find genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. For example, the goal of the ...
