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

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 ...

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

This month marks the 10-year anniversary of the Human Genome Project, a 13-year international effort to determine the sequence of the 3 billion "letters" in a human being's DNA. The $3 billion ...

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 ...

Thirteen years after its launch as the most ambitious biomedical research project ever undertaken, the Human Genome Project yesterday was declared officially complete, having revealed in exquisite ...

The Human Genome Project truly has changed the scientific landscape, but we’re still only at the very beginning of seeing the world that it’s made possible.

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.
