5 Questions
Which factor contributes to the presence of variants in the human genome?
Mutations over animal and human evolution
What is a haplotype?
A genotype inherited from one of the parents
What did the 1000 Genomes project consortium do to develop ethnic haplotypes for use as reference genomes?
Sequenced genomes from regions across the globe to generate haplotypes
What is the main reason why there is no single reference genome that applies to all humans?
Variants in the human genome are from population genetics over about 0.5 million years
What is the purpose of comparing haplotypes in the 1000 Genomes project consortium?
To determine variants within and between different human populations
Test your knowledge on why there is no single reference genome for all humans. Explore the impact of genetic variants from population genetics, mutations over evolution, interbreeding with extinct hominins, human migrations, and bottleneck and founder effects.
