A team of researchers have generated the first complete chromosome sequences from non-human primates. Published in Nature, these sequences uncover remarkable variation between the Y chromosomes of different species, showing rapid evolution, in addition to revealing previously unstudied regions of great ape genomes. Since these primate species are the closest living relatives to humans, the new sequences can provide insights into human evolution.

Genomics education begins with a classroom of educators

The NHGRI Short Course in Genomics brings the latest genomics science to the classroom.
Samantha Agoos, who teaches honors genetics and biology at Denver East High School in Denver, believes she is doing a disservice to her students if she is not up to date on her subject matter. At Bethesda-Chevy Chase High in Maryland, a science teacher named Justine Lassar wants to teach biology lessons that are rooted in real, cutting-edge science.
But for genomics, that s a tall order. Genomics the study of all DNA in organisms is one of the fastest moving subjects in science. There are not many current genomics education resources available to teachers like Agoos and Lassar.
