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 ...

This past Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of the sequencing of the human genome. Many remember the peaceable celebration between two rivals on the project, Francis Collins, who ran the ...

Twenty years ago last month, scientists sequenced the first human genome in the landmark Human Genome Project. Among the many things they discovered was that while any two humans have 99.6 percent of ...

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 ...

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has received a $2 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation for ongoing research to develop a comprehensive map of human genetic variation. The Human Genome ...

How A Bank Of All The World’s Genetic Codes Hopes To Save Nature The Earth Bank of Codes wants to collect the genetic sequence of the natural world--and let countries make money from the scientific ...

The Human Genome Project was a massive undertaking that took more than a decade and billions of dollars to complete. For it, scientists collected DNA samples from anonymous volunteers who were told ...

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 ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...
