Pioneering scientist J. Craig Venter has died at 79. His "whole genome shotgun method" helped genome sequencing become faster and cheaper.

Researchers have identified how cells recognize and suppress transposons, mobile DNA elements that can destabilize genomes.

Rosalind, a Rust-built genomics library, runs whole genome sequencing analysis in 100 MB of RAM on a laptop, with no cloud ...

Research of the human genome has revealed an odd hidden code in our DNA. Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe this could be evidence of alien manipulation, in this scene from Season 13, "The Artificial ...

In the 1990s Venter bet that he could use a sequencing technique to speed up the decoding of the human genome and he beat an enormous government effort called the Human Genome Project.

Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

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 ...

Scientist and medical technology entrepreneur J. Craig Venter published the first bacterial genome ever decoded in 1995. The result heralded a new age of discovery for genetics ...
