A pair of papers published this week in the two leading scientific journals mark the completion of the Human Genome Project and the start of a new project to find all of the functional elements in ...

Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...

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 ...

July 2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of the UC Santa Cruz Genome Browser, one of the most widely used resources for genomics worldwide. Originally built to allow researchers to explore a single ...

How much carbon can the ocean absorb, and what happens to it as the planet warms? Sonya Dyhrman, a microbial oceanographer and professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is trying to answer these ...

The first phase of the U.K. synthetic human genome project has successfully completed, realizing key steps in chromosome synthesis. The work has demonstrated a multistep method for transfecting mouse ...

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 ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...
