WHAT IS THE HUMAN GENOME AND WHY DO WE NEED TO SEQUENCE IT? The Human Genome project is one of the most ambitious and challenging quests ever undertaken by science. Its goal is to completely map and ...

A decade on from the launch of an ambitious project, it’s time to revisit the reasons for constructing a human genome from ...

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 ...

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 Department of Biotechnology (DBT) recently said that the exercise to sequence 10,000 Indian human genomes and create a database under the Centre-backed Genome India Project is about two-thirds ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that little-studied DNA structures play a central role in organizing the human genome and controlling gene activity, according to a new study published ...

To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning stretches across your life, your children's, and your family's. To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning ...

Scientists thought they had a working map of the human proteome. Some stretches of DNA made useful proteins, while a murkier, “dark” region seemed mostly inactive or irrelevant. Turns out their map ...

An international research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) has developed HERRO, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that could make it easier and more cost-effective ...
