La compañía deCODE Genetics, ubicada en Islandia, ha publicado en la edición electrónica de "Nature Genetics" la recombinación del mapa del genoma humano de más alta resolución desarrollada hasta la fecha.
Según los autores, se trata de un importante paso adelante que permitirá un análisis más detallado de las enfermedades humanas y supondrá una útil herramienta para la genómica aplicada.
Esta secuencia genética proporciona las localizaciones de 5.000 marcadores microsatélites polimórficos, que se utilizan como puntos de señalización en el genoma para la localización de genes relacionados con enfermedades. También muestra 2 millones de polimorfismos de un solo gen.
Según la compañía, su mapa del genoma tiene cinco veces más resolución que las secuencias disponibles hasta la fecha. Además, su tecnología ha permitido crear mapas detallados de cada sexo.
En palabras de Kari Stefansson, uno de los autores del trabajo, "es un gran avance en genética humana y estamos orgullosos de proporcionar nuestros datos y resultados a los científicos de todo el mundo.
