A new nomenclature connects dots to lines — Caption

The ACTG naming system shifts genetic interpretation from isolated “point-based” variants to full “line-based” haplotypes—groups of genetic variations on the same chromosome that are inherited together from a single parent. Using this framework, researchers built JoGo 1.0, cataloging 4.7 million variants across more than 19,000 human genes.
