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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

These epidemiologic patterns highlight the limitations of focusing on genetics alone. Although the Human Genome Project greatly expanded our understanding of hereditary contributions to disease, genes ...

The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 marked a turning point in medicine, sparking widespread optimism about a future where diseases could be predicted, prevented, and treated with ...

The first-of-its-kind synthetic human DNA is in the making by UK scientists. On June 26, the Wellcome Trust, the world’s largest medical charity, committed an initial £10 million to the Synthetic ...
