What gets hyped, and what remains neglected, often depends on good storytelling. When the Human Genome Project began, in 1990, it had a simple story, well told. From a standing start, American ...

Then, in 1998, with money from Perkin-Elmer, a scientific-instrument company that was about to launch an upgraded sequencing machine, he set up a rival, private, human genome project, in the shape ...

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The new “pangenome” incorporates the DNA of 47 individuals from every ...

A decade ago, researchers sequenced 92 percent of the human genome. They just cracked the last 8 percent — a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for cancer and other diseases.

The Human Genome Project truly has changed the scientific landscape, but we’re still only at the very beginning of seeing the world that it’s made possible.

T2T-CHM13 is now available on the UCSC Genome Browser for everyone to enjoy, complimenting the standard human reference genome, GRCh38. In case you don't believe it, this is the HGSC reference ...

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...

Scientists use the current human genome reference to identify which sequences come from human contamination and remove those, leaving just the bacterial DNA for their study. But, because large parts ...

Human genome stored inside near-indestructible '5D memory crystal' that could survive to the end of the universe. News. By Harry Baker published 25 September 2024 ...

Our genome is all the DNA present in our cells. Since 2011, we have been able to easily and accurately edit genomes. First came a molecular tool called Crispr-Cas9, which today can be used in a ...
