Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote.

From its inception, the Human Genome Project revolved around two key principles (International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, 2001). First, it welcomed collaborators from any nation in an ...

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.

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

A £10 million Wellcome Trust-funded project seeks to create artificial human genomes. Technology Networks explored the ...

A decade ago, researchers sequenced 92 percent of the human genome. They just cracked the last 8 percent — a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for cancer and other diseases.

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

Two decades ago, the Human Genome Project completed their mission—sequence the first full human genome. Map out all of the genes we can, and get the full set ready for use in learning more about ...
