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

Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now ...

In the interview, Lloyd M. Smith discusses proteoforms, an area of research worthy of the next Human Genome Project.

A team of researchers is beginning work on creating new tools that could eventually lead to the synthesis of the human genome ...

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 ...

The Synthetic Human Genome Project (SynHG) will take decades to complete and cost anything from millions to hundreds of millions of pounds. By contrast, just reading the human genome cost around $3 ...

The human genome contains roughly 3 billion nucleotides and just under 20,000 protein-coding genes – an estimated 1% of the genome’s total length. The remaining 99% is non-coding DNA sequences ...

13-year project designed as a human mosaic rests largely on a single volunteer. Five takeaways from Undark's report on a major scientific achievement.

For the 20-year anniversary of this historic event, we took a look back at the Human Genome Project and its impact. How did it shape science moving forward?

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 ...

The Synthetic Human Genome Project is working to build synthetic human DNA but who is asking how this science will impact ...

Twenty years ago the Human Genome Project (HGP) unveiled a mostly complete sequence of the roughly 3bn base pairs of DNA found in every set of human chromosomes. The project was chock-full of ego ...
