Craig Venter, the hard-charging San Diego biologist who co-led the sequencing of the human genome, leading to better ways to treat everything from heart defects to Alzheimer’s disease and further ...

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.

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

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...

Pioneering and controversial geneticist who was one of the first to sequence the human genome, in part by using his own DNA ...

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

A new Guinness World Record for fastest whole human genome sequencing has been achieved, with researchers breaking down a patient's genetic profile in less than four hours. The 3-hour 57-minute ...

Sidewinder makes it practical to build the DNA sequences that AI models predict ...

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