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 ...

Researchers have begun working on a new, controversial project to produce human DNA from scratch. It is believed to be the first of its kind effort which, if successful, could lead to new treatments ...

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 ...

Researchers now have a powerful new way to understand the types of brain cells that are affected in neurodegenerative diseases and to uncover connections between conditions such as Parkinson's, ...

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 ...
