A gene can vanish, and life can go on. That is one of the most striking lessons from a sweeping new analysis of 173,303 ...

While a strand of human DNA is approximately 6.5 feet long, it is folded into a cell nucleus that is only 10 micrometers in diameter—roughly one tenth of the width of a sheet of paper. This compaction ...

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 ...

Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Human Genome Project, a monumental scientific achievement that has transformed healthcare and laid the foundation for modern genomics.

Comprehensive genomic profiling of matched ctDNA and tissue from patients with less common cancers enrolled in but not eligible for a treatment arm of the NCI-MATCH trial. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA ...

Health data company Truveta said Monday it’s partnering with health systems and drugmakers to launch the Truveta Genome Project, a database of genetic data that is expected to accelerate personalized ...

The Vertebrate Genomes Project: It's an ambitious effort by an international group of scientists to create a "Genome Ark" by sequencing the genomes of about 70,000 animal species. The hope is that ...

The GoE project was initiated in response to the rapidly growing use of genetic data in research and clinical applications, and the lack of a whole genome sequence (WGS) reference dataset for Europe.

With Donald Trump's decisive victory in the 2024 election, many voters are now wondering what that means for the so-called Project 2025 plan and what's in it. Project 2025, a controversial blueprint ...
