Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D ...

Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now tackling the synthesis of human DNA (in other words, the creation of an ...

Researchers have begun working on a new, controversial project to produce human DNA from scratch. It is believed to be the first of its kind effort which, if successful, could lead to new treatments ...

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

A newly published paper in Nature describes the complex process of launching a nine-country collaboration in Africa to significantly expand scientists' understanding of human genetic diversity. This ...

Regeneron collaborates with Truveta to expand a genomic database, investing $119.5 million to enhance genetics-based healthcare research. Regeneron's $119.5 million investment in Truveta's Series C ...

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 ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
