Led by researchers at University of Oxford (UK) and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) at Harvard University, (USA), more than 50 collaborators at over 30 scientific organizations around the globe have agreed on a common standard that will make possible the consistent description of enormous and radically different databases compiled in fields ranging from genetics to stem cell science, to environmental studies.

Researchers, led by Zhou Huanmin, earlier this week claimed that they have finalized sequencing for the genome of a direct descendant of Genghis Khan.
