When the Human Genome Project sequenced 92 per cent of the human genome in 2003, it revolutionized our understanding of genetics and its role in human health, evolution and biology. Nearly two decades ...

Scientists have stored the entire human genome on a five-dimensional crystal that’s capable of digitally storing up to 360 terabytes of information and is built to survive for billions of years. The ...

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 project ...

The University of Southampton team hopes the data could be used to bring humans back from extinction in the future. The 5D memory crystal has been inscribed with the full human genome and can last ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...

Scientists have stored the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal which they hope could provide a blueprint to bring humanity back from extinction thousands, if not millions, of years in the future.
