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

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

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

In 2003, project scientists unveiled a genome sequence that accounted for over 90% of the human genome — as complete as possible for the technology of the time.

The NIH archives of the Human Genome Project could fall victim to Trump administration cuts, writes a former archivist.

The map of human genome sequence variation 2 relied, in part, on sequences derived from a panel of 24 individuals representing an ethnically diverse population.

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 ...

No human genome has ever been read in its entirety before. This year, scientists expect to pass that milestone for the first time.

To piece together this history, Undark examined more than 100 emails, letters, and other documents, and interviewed many of the Human Genome Project's central figures.

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity.

The human reference genome has always been a remarkable but flawed tool. A new 'pangenome' aims to correct its oversights and omissions.
