Researchers sequence complex parts of human genome, expanding the future of precision medicine

Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome in its entirety. That is, until today.

Researchers decoded DNA segments involved in the development of diseases like diabetes and spinal muscular atrophy that had previously been considered too complicated to sequence. Their work, published in Nature on Wednesday, could expand the future of precision medicine.
