Dr. Eric Green, now director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, said the decision to declare the project finished in 2003 came down to the fact that scientists had completed all they ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

For two decades, scientists have been comparing every person's full set of DNA they study to a template that relies mostly on genetic material from one man affectionately known as "the guy f.

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full synthetic human genomes, wary of propelling us into a dystopian, Gattaca ...

Since the Human Genome Project first produced the genetic instructions for a human being by sequencing DNA 22 years ago, scientists have been focused on roughly 2% of the genome-producing proteins.

It's not completely complete, and perhaps never will be. But the version of the human genome sequence that opened for business yesterday (April 14) at the University of California-Santa Cruz is so ...

In the physical sciences, there seems to be little if any disagreement over what constitutes big science. Few physicists, for example, would disagree that the Superconducting Supercollider and the ...

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical ...

Gujarat launches genome sequencing project for tribal communities to identify genetic health risks and enable precision ...

Paten, a pangenome study author and project leader, said 70% of that first reference genome came from an African American man with mixed African and European ancestry who answered an ad for ...

FILE - This undated image made available by the National Human Genome Research Institute shows the output from a DNA sequencer. The much-heralded Human Genome Project was a huge milestone for ...
