Scientists have sequenced the complete genome of a roundworm used extensively in biological research, opening a new pathway ...

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

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

A Ph.D. graduate student in biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, with a background in computer science and mathematics, ...

"The Lepidosiren genome (about 91 Gb, roughly 30 times the human genome) is the largest animal genome sequenced so far and more than twice the size of the Australian (Neoceratodus forsteri) and ...

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full synthetic human genomes, wary of propelling us into a dystopian, Gattaca ...

In a first, researchers have sequenced the complete genome of a man from ancient Egypt, and the results reveal that he had genetic ties with Mesopotamian DNA.

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical minefield, with fears of a generation of ‘designer babies’ with pick ‘n’ mix ...

The oldest known Egyptian DNA sample offers new insights into the potential ancestry of those who belonged to the enduring ...

Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ...

Around 2018–19, there was not a bigger science and ethical story than the debate over heritable human genome editing (HHGE) and the scandal over the “CRISPR babies.” The scientist, He ...
