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. Twenty-five ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

The University of California, Santa Cruz, has played a key role in an international project to catalog all of the biologically functional elements in 1 percent of the human genome. The results of the ...

Botstein, Princeton’s Anthony B. Evnin ‘62 Professor of Genomics, Emeritus, and an emeritus professor of molecular biology ...

Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has received two large grants renewing funding for the Human Pangenome Reference Sequencing Project. This ambitious program began in 2019 with the ...

Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now tackling the synthesis of human DNA (in other words, the creation of an ...

Since the Human Genome Project first produced the genetic instructions for a human being by sequencing DNA 22 years ago, scientists have been focused on roughly 2% of the genome-producing proteins.

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human ...

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...
