Danish reference genome now mapped

Danish researchers now have unprecedented and extremely precise knowledge of the genetic makeup of the Danish population, having analysed the genes of 50 families. The Danish Reference Genome is the result of five years of research efforts. The results have just been published in the leading scientific journal Nature.
