- 1Scientists launch effort to sequence the human RNome▼The Human RNome Project Consortium seeks to publish first-ever complete sequence of the body’s RNA
The Human RNome Project Consortium is working toward publishing the first-ever complete sequence of the body's RNA, complementing the genome by mapping the full set of RNA molecules. The project would give researchers a new layer of understanding of how genes are expressed and could advance research into disease and therapeutics, drawing attention from the scientific community.
