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

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial ...

Researchers have now discovered that HAR123, a regulatory gene sequence, is an important factor in human brain development. Even though humans are closely related to chimps, the slight differences in ...

The project offers a bird’s-eye view of how each gene—and their combinations—keeps our bodily functions humming along. It’s the “next frontier” after the Human Genome Project, wrote the authors.

Decades later, The Human Genome Project found that these elements made up a staggering 45 percent of the human genome, and managed to proliferate over millions of years thanks to a “copy-and ...

Seventeen health systems have launched the Truveta Genome Project to create what Truveta is calling the largest and most diverse database of genotypic and phenotypic information ever assembled. The ...

The NHGRI's original purpose was to support the Human Genome Project, the precursor to the T2T Consortium that aimed to generate the first sequence of the human genome. In 2003, the Human Genome ...

Researchers closely examined the genomes of 65 individuals to paint a more complex, and more complete, picture of human genetic diversity.

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has received a $2 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation for ongoing research to develop a comprehensive map of human genetic variation. The Human Genome ...

Seattle’s newest unicorn: Truveta lands $320M to fuel creation of massive new genome project GeekWire chronicles the Pacific Northwest startup scene.

It's an ambitious and controversial project called the Synthetic Human Genome (SynHG) project, and work has already begun on a proof-of-concept.
