Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now ...

Synthetic Human Genome (SynHG) project sparks fears that rogue scientists could create enhanced ‘super humans’ in decades to come ...

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 ...

T wenty years ago the Human Genome Project (HGP) unveiled a mostly complete sequence of the roughly 3bn base pairs of DNA found in every set of human chromosomes. The project was chock-full of ego ...

The Synthetic Human Genome Project is being funded by the Wellcome Trust, which has donated Rs 117 crore (10 million pounds).

Dr. Glen Evans brought the Human Genome Project to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the 1990s for only a few years. The project's legacy lives on today in the research of UT ...

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.

The human genetic code will be built from scratch by British scientists in a controversial new research project. The £10 million scheme to synthesise DNA is being funded by the Wellcome Trust and ...

The human genome contains roughly 3 billion nucleotides and just under 20,000 protein-coding genes – an estimated 1% of the genome’s total length. The remaining 99% is non-coding DNA sequences ...

In 2003, project scientists unveiled a genome sequence that accounted for over 90% of the human genome — as complete as possible for the technology of the time. Darryl Leja, NHGRI/Flickr ...
