    Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

    The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead

    WOMEN IN SCIENCE: A SNAPSHOT ACROSS GENERATIONS IN ACADEMIA

    No full text
    Previous research pertaining to women’s interest and perseverance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is robust and covers all stages of women’s lives from early childhood through degree achievement and career advancement. Over the past 75 years, it is clear that more women are entering and staying in STEM fields; however, it is not clear how their experiences as “women in STEM” have shifted nor how this played a role in their decisions to stay. This qualitative study sought to answer the following research questions: (1) What does it mean to women to be a “woman in science”? and (2) How are the life experiences from different generations of female scientists similar or different? Using feminist phenomenology as a theoretical and methodological lens, personal statements were collected from and interviews conducted with 22 women in various stages of their science careers. Overall, regardless of generation, women were inspired to pursue science either because they had “always” been interested or because of a specific teacher. This interest was coupled with a sense of self that participants felt deviated from stereotypical female norms and left many participants negotiating gender roles. For many participants, this negotiation ultimately led to the pursuit of a career in science teaching. While it appears that the level of overt discrimination experienced by our population has decreased over the generations, implicit bias still exists and is not necessarily recognized as being problematic by mid- and late-career women. This has implications for how we recognize and support the next generation of female scientists
