Groundbreaking Discovery

A team of 99 researchers led the groundbreaking discovery by identifying about 115 new genes that code for proteins.

The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, an international collaboration that comprises around 30 institutions, has released data that gives new insights into the workings of the DNA and how it influences risks of disease and how cells keep it in neatly organised. Experts say that the new details will open our eyes to critical information stored within DNA that had remained elusive forever.
