Saey: My first memory of the Human Genome Project was when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, and I remember Walter Gilbert, who is a Nobel Prize winner, coming ...

Find out what are the key reasons we need to broaden the sample size of the original map of human DNA created by the Human Genome Project. Clinical drug trials have historically had a much higher rate ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

The ability to sequence and edit human DNA has revolutionized biomedicine. Now a new consortium wants to take the next step and build human genomes from scratch. The Human Genome Project was one of ...

Scientists have uncovered thousands of DNA segments that were missing from the reference sequence of the human genome. The Human Genome Project, which concluded in 2003, sought to completely and ...

Researchers have begun working on a new, controversial project to produce human DNA from scratch. It is believed to be the first of its kind effort which, if successful, could lead to new treatments ...

Since 1990, government-funded scientists in the United States, Europe and Japan have been working together to decipher the information stored in our DNA. Private firms are also working to decode the ...

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 ...
