Scientists start a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life, in what is thought to be a world first.

Completion of the Human Genome Project was a huge milestone, ... In the decades since, scientists have filled in some of that puzzle — identifying a host of genes, for example, ...

Creating a synthetic human genome has the possibilities of improving human healthspans, but it also comes with extremely dangerous consequences.

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 ...

NIH’s SMaHT Network will chart trillions of somatic mutations to reveal how our DNA changes over a lifetime. In a nutshell ...

The Human Genome Project, launched in 1990 and completed in 2003, ... For example, the gene causing Huntington’s disease was discovered in 1993 but has not yet led to a definitive treatment.

On June 26, 2000, President Bill Clinton stood between J. Craig Venter (left) and Francis S. Collins (right) to announce the completion of the first rough map of the human genome.

But by the time the human genome was finished, and a first diploid version of an single individual human's genome (again, that of J. Craig Venter) was ready to be published (Levy et al. 2007 ...

In the interview, Lloyd M. Smith discusses proteoforms, an area of research worthy of the next Human Genome Project.

Twenty years after the first human genome sequence was published, scientists have kicked the sequencing game to the next level with a diverse set of 64 genomes.

In the summer of 2000, the Human Genome Project successfully concluded with the first fully sequenced human genome. To commemorate this accomplishment the White House hosted an epic celebration ...

The answer, after the usual political haggling, was the Human Genome Project ... for example the Human Cell Atlas, which has 1,483 participating organisations scattered around the world. ...
