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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
