Harvard researchers from the Broad Institute joined a team of 200 researchers in six nations to complete the $138 million project. Findings from the HapMap, compiled by analyzing genetic data from four ethnic groups—Europeans, Japanese, Chinese, and the Yoruba of Nigeria—were published in last week’s edition of the journal Nature. Researchers found over three million common variants in the three-billion-unit human genome. Researchers are now planning to use the HapMap data...
